The first thousand four hundred and ninety-five chapters destroy Chu (1)
"Is there any document sent from Xianyang?"
Returning to the shogunate's military tent, Wang Jian looked at the army commander.
"General!"
"There is no document from Xianyang. As before, according to the king's decree, if there is no war, there is no need to report to Xianyang."
"No documents have been sent to Xianyang."
The military commander responded directly.
As I spoke, I sighed.
I remember that when the general led an army of 600,000 to garrison here, a document was sent to Xianyang every three days.
It may not be a big deal, but according to what the general said, the Qin army gathered here, and it should be as if the King of Qin was here in person, and he should understand everything.
But half a month later, the king sent a document, saying that the general did not need to be so cumbersome, and there was no need to report unless it was a war.
In view of this, the general changed the report to one report every seven days.
But then he was approved by the king that there was no need to do that.
Later, the general decided to report it every ten days, but not long after, the king issued a document again, saying that the army ignored it. The document was too noisy, so it was enough to report it once a month.
In this way, it is changed to one report per month.
The documents from last month were only uploaded a few days ago. If there is no war this month, the documents will have to wait for a long time.
"The king is like this. Wang Jian must be a little careless."
Wang Jian bowed his hands and looked in the direction of Xianyang.
As a general, it is truly a blessing to meet such a heroic master as your Majesty.
In this battle, I will not disappoint the king. If Ruoyan fights now, he is certainly sure of victory, but it is not enough.
The fighter jets I need haven't arrived yet.
"This is how the battle for national destiny should be."
Meng Wu also felt that he was very ashamed when he thought about the military campaign he and General Li Xin conducted last year.
"Report!"
"Shangqing Yao Jia, who is temporarily in charge of Luowang and Chu's spies, sent a secret letter!"
In the shogunate's military tent, everyone had just finished speaking.
Suddenly, a hurried voice came from outside the tent.
"Bring it!"
Wang Jian's expression moved slightly, and he raised his hand and said something.
Immediately, the Army Sima took the document and handed it to the general.
After comparing the secret instructions with the seal, the secret message document was opened.
"It seems...the fighter plane has arrived."
"Pass this general's order to summon the commanders of all battalions to come here."
Wang Jian took a closer look at it. After dozens of breaths, suddenly, a hint of joy flowed deep in his eyes.
Then, he put down the document in his hand and handed it to Meng Wu beside him.
He looked at the army commander again and immediately gave the order.
"General, do you want to beat the drum to gather the generals?"
The army commander hesitated.
"No need for that, just a secret meeting."
Wang Jian waved his hand.
"Here!"
The army commander immediately left the camp and secretly summoned the chief generals of each major battalion in the army according to the order of the superior general.
Apparently, the fighter plane the general was waiting for has arrived.
"To be able to find out such secret information is really..."
"Xiang Yan is really going to invade Huainan."
"In this way, the moment his troops entered Huainan, they were our military fighters."
After Meng Wu finished reading the document in his hand, he was very impressed. The information on the document was recorded in great detail, even including the specific approximate time.
Around spring.
As for more specific information, you need to look at what is reported next.
"If you want to keep an army of 300,000 men in Shouchun, the capital of the country, I'm afraid there are more plans behind it."
"However, those are enough."
Wang Jian walked to the sand table in the shogunate's military tent and looked at where the Chu army's camp was and where Shouchun, the capital of Chu State, was.
Then he looked at the vast land of Huainan.
If the Chu army continues to hold on in Huaibei, they really have no good fighting chance and can only wait for chaos in the Chu temple.
Moreover, judging from the situation of the Chu army, Xiang Yan's invasion of Huainan was so smooth because of the great efforts of those private soldiers of the aristocratic families.
…
…
Two hours later!
The shogunate's military tents, which were previously empty, were already overcrowded, and all the generals from the major camps in the army arrived secretly one by one.
Although I was doubtful about the lack of drumming, I was still a little excited.
Because such a large gathering of generals clearly indicates that something different is happening.
"What does General Meng Tian know?"
Bai Qianhong was wearing light armor and was among them. She looked at Jiuyuan Army General Meng Tian beside her. He had been in the army since last year.
Did not return to the land in the clouds.
However, news came from Beihu that the Xiongnu had no time to go south for the time being and were trying their best to attack Donghu in order to unify all the grassland tribes.
"Haha, General Bai!"
"Meng Tian doesn't know."
He entered the army early and went through a lot of hard work. He was strong and iron-blooded all over his body. Hearing Bai Qianhong's words beside him, he couldn't help but smile and shake his head.
I have just arrived, so I don’t know much about it.
"I think something big is going to happen."
Although I don't know, based on my understanding of the general, summoning the generals in such a secret way will definitely lead to something big happening.
"That's how it should be."
Bai Qianhong also responded with a chuckle.
According to the information I received, I am afraid that the general is preparing to attack Chu.
"All the generals have returned!"
At this time, the military commander felt the chaos in the tent and gave him a drink.
By the way, a host will be automatically arranged left and right.
Even the humming sound in the tent disappeared a lot, and then it returned to calm.
"The armies have been at war for several months, and now the fighter planes have arrived."
"There will be a big change in the Chu army. Xiang Yan may want to march into Huainan next. The Chu army will move, and we will wait for the opportunity."
"Although the exact moment is unknown, it is not far away."
"In order to prevent the Chu army from suddenly retreating into Huainan, I should deploy the entire army first. If a fighter plane suddenly arrives, when the horn of our shogunate rises, you and others will dispatch troops like thunder without any military orders."
"Are you aware of it?"
Wang Jian looked at the generals on the left and right in front of him. They were all very familiar generals. They were standing in front of the sand table and spoke quickly in a deep voice.
If we wait until the fighter plane arrives before deploying the army, we may miss the opportunity.
From what we can see from the various major battalion headquarters responding to the challenge in the past few months, we are still in control.
"Here!"
All the generals suddenly clasped their fists and saluted.
"The rear army was 80,000 strong, commanded by Bai Qianhong, and attacked the Chu army south of Pingyu from north to south."
Wang Jian looked over and looked at the only female general in the camp.
His talent and learning are not inferior to those of other generals.
"Here!"
Bai Qianhong came out of the queue, full of heroic spirit, and said crisply.
"The right army has one hundred thousand troops, commanded by Wang Ben, and will attack the Chu army from north to south towards Xixian County and Xinyang!"
"Here!"
"The left army, commanded by one hundred thousand Meng Tian, cooperated with the rear army and pressed towards Xiang Yan's main force, Ruyin."
"Here!"
"The front army has 100,000 troops. Commander Li Xin, with you as the vanguard, will be the first to attack and kill Xiang Yan's army in Ruyin!"
"The Chinese army is 120,000, commanded by the veteran general Meng Wu. He directly leads the army south to the Huai River to prevent the Chu army from forcibly crossing the Huai River."
"Here!"
"There are 50,000 soldiers in the military camp and the crossbow camp, led by Feng Jie. Although General Wu was behind him, he thought that our army was going south to forcefully cross the Huaihe River to suppress the formation."
"Here!"
"The flying cavalry camp is 30,000 strong, led by Zhao Tuo, and is guarding the shogunate of the central army, thinking that it will move south slowly."
"Here!"
"..."
"..."
A series of military orders were issued one after another, from the initial general plan to the detailed plans of the generals.
"This time the fighter planes must try their best to annihilate the Chu army's vitality while they are escaping to Huainan."
"We absolutely cannot allow Xiang Yan's main force to escape to Huainan, Jiangdong, or even Jiangnan."
Wang Jian shouted again and gave strict orders to the generals.
"Here!"
Everyone nodded in response.
"General!"
"The troops that Li Xin asked for, after annihilating the Chu army's vitality, led the light troops to dare to die as the vanguard, and pursued Xiang Yan's troops in Chu."
Quietly, a silver-armored general walked out from among the generals, walked to the tent, half-kneeled, saluted, and spoke deeply.
"General Li Xin!"
"General Li Xin!"
"..."
The generals on the left and right were shocked, looked at General Li Xin, looked at each other, whispered, and then fell into a slight silence.
The 600,000 soldiers of the Qin army were fighting in the army to gain weight, but General Li Xin seemed to have suddenly lost a lot of weight.
The high-spirited, brave and heroic general who attacked Chu last year, now looks as lean as a sick person.
His face was dark, his chin was short and his beard was curly, which made him look like a young general in silver armor. Looking at this, all the generals sighed.
"good!"
"Zi Ran went south to annihilate the remaining Chu army. I allow you to join Zhao Tuo, unite 60,000 flying cavalry, and pursue Xiang Yan's main elite troops east of the river."
Wang Jian nodded deeply.
Walking across the sand table, he helped the silver-armored general to his feet and gave him absolute affirmation.
"General!"
Li Xin did not get up and bowed deeply.
The generals even felt the sour heat rising in their hearts, and they were silent for a long time.
******
"Our troops will retreat to Huainan in an orderly manner."
"Otherwise, the Qin army may notice it and may be blocked."
The troops entered Huainan, and everything was in progress since the attribution was received from the capital of Shouchun.
The property was secretly sorted out and shipped to Huainan and Jiangdong, thinking it would be used as a foundation for the next step. He took the lead in dispatching troops to Huainan as a response.
All kinds of things, very complicated.
If there was no Qin army on the side, everything would have gone very quickly, but for such a secret matter, the fewer people knew about it, the better.
When the troops retreat, they can succeed without giving the Qin army time to react.
"Xixian, Xincai, Xinyang and other places gradually emptied their camps, left flags behind, made bluffs, and then slowly retreated at night."
"Go south and cross the Huai River at the strategic road here in Ruyin, and wait by Shouchun."
"I will lead the main force of Ruyin to seize the rear and delay it for about half a day to buy time for you and others. Even if the Qin army pursues it and is blocked by the Huai River, there is nothing we can do."
Xiang Yan held the bamboo pole in one hand and drew directions on the sand table in front of him, while looking at the generals on the side.
"When exactly?"
The deputy general of the Qu family nodded and bowed his hands.
"Waiting for the rectification in Huainan to be completed."
"Start preparations in half a month."
"No news was allowed to spread in the army. At that time, our army quietly retreated, leaving the Qin army an empty Huaibei land."
Xiang Yan thought for a moment and gave an approximate time.
At the moment, notices are given to prepare, arrange, and place things in order to cause chaos and cause different kinds of commotion.
"Hahaha, it's true. I'm afraid Qin Jun woke up from his dream and could only stare at the empty land of Huaibei."
"I can finally return to Huainan."
"..."
The shogunate suddenly became bustling with excitement.
For the old clan, entering Huainan is not a good thing, but for the hundreds of thousands of private soldiers of the clan, this is not the case.
They went to Huaibei to make meritorious deeds, but after staying in Huaibei for a year, they did not make any meritorious deeds. Instead, they suffered considerable hardships.
In such bitterly cold weather, the food in the military camp was difficult to eat... it was completely different from what we expected.
Instead of doing this, it is better to go back to Huainan.
Now, I finally have to go back. I don’t have to stay in Huaibei to confront the Qin army. I want to fight or not, and I want credit but not merit.
