So after listening to what Li Xin said, Jing Yu seemed to have a better understanding of Liu Bang's background.
The background of Liu Bang's army is miscellaneous, but it cannot be tolerated that the counselors or generals below are powerful and good at using strategies, so they can maximize the value of the miscellaneous army to cover up its shortcomings.
But if you encounter a regular main force that has truly experienced a life and death battle, the situation will be completely different.
If the plan is seen through or suppressed by hard power, Liu Bangjun will easily be defeated in one blow and the people will be scattered!
That's why in history, Xiang Yu repeatedly led tens of thousands of troops to defeat Liu Bang's hundreds of thousands of troops. But Liu Bang was really able to survive until Xiang Yu was exhausted.
Thinking of this, the key to victory becomes clear. In one sentence: If you are too aggressive, you will risk your life!
After a moment of silence, Ying Jingyu swept away the anger just now, and his face slowly returned to its former self-confidence and ease, saying: "Hahaha... Li Xin really deserves his reputation!"
"Then General Li is training here to wait for the time when the Qin army matures?"
Li Xin said: "Yes, sir. But since I saw the effects of the 'horse stirrups' and 'thunderbolts' invented by the young master yesterday, Xin is confident that he will advance the time to ambush Liu Bangjun, and if there are enough 'thunderbolts',
It will reduce the losses of our Qin army!"
After hearing this, Jingyu lowered his head and paced back and forth in the camp, muttering: "Guard the Pass, ambush, thunderbolt..."
Jing Yu turned to look at Li Xin and said, "How many troops do the defenders of Yaoguan have left at this time?"
Li Xin cupped his hands and said: "Sir, since I reported last night, there are more than 35,000 troops left in Aoguan, and there are 5,000 defenders on the western front of Aoguan. Liu Bang's offensive is very fierce!"
Jing Yu frowned: "So what General Li said about guarding the pass for two months is simply impossible? If the number of troops guarding the pass drops again, Liu Bang can directly bypass the pass and break through the defense line, right?"
Li Xin looked embarrassed, lowered his head and said: "Young master, three months is indeed a theoretical time, which includes the replenishment of logistics, weapons and soldiers."
"But Xin did not intend to spend two months. The plan is to have the Aoguan garrison surrender to Liu Bang within ten days. If the 'thunderbolt bombs' arrive at the camp, the operation can be launched immediately."
Ying Jingyu was also very helpless. This time he was concealed, and all his plans were disrupted. Time is more pressing than imagined...
I originally thought that Liu Bang still had ten days to break the Wuguan, but I didn't know that the opponent had already broken the Wuguan for more than a month... Zhao Gao and Dong Lege were too good at covering up. They must have been secretly exchanging letters with Liu Bang.
Let's see how we can sell Da Qin for a good price, but... he was killed without even talking about it.
Jingyu raised the corners of his mouth and said with a smile: "Soldiers are deceitful! Yu is taught."
"Young Master is too modest."
Ying Jingyu thought for a while, but he really couldn't think of a better way than this.
Now that the situation has turned, even without horse stirrups and thunderbolts, Liu Bang's army can be defeated just by relying on numbers and bravery... but the losses will certainly be considerable.
If Jing Yu were allowed to operate it by himself, he would probably use Li Xin's method to ambush Liu Bang, because Liu Bang's fight all the way to Yaoguan was so smooth, growing from a few thousand people to more than 100,000 people (including logistics), leaving Xianyang
The city is close at hand!
The six kingdoms of Guandong seem to really regard the Qin army as worthless. Even if they know there is a trap, the two big fat "Guanzhong" and "Xianyang", the unparalleled achievements of destroying Qin are right in front of them, they are a trap.
It is an inevitable decision to go there!
That's why Li Xin was so confident with such a layout, and didn't worry at all whether Liu Bang knew about the great changes in the Guanzhong court. Because the changes have not changed, you, Liu Bang, will definitely come...
The more Ying Jingyu thought about it, the more wonderful he felt, and he said: "Okay, since General Li is sure, the ambush of Liu Bang will be arranged by the general with full authority. I will write to Qin Ren Wufang now and ask them to make a 'horse stirrup' as soon as possible.
'Send 'gunpowder' to the army!"
"Yes, sir!"
Ying Jingyu didn't waste any words. He took Li Nian and the two of them and strode past the generals standing in the tent. When he walked to the entrance of the tent, he turned around and said sternly: "Don't reveal a single word about today's matter.
In my heart, if the incident is found to be leaked, the five tribes will be killed!"
The generals turned pale with fright. They quickly turned around and knelt down to Ying Jingyu and said, "Yes, Young Master! I dare not reveal it even to my death!"
Jingyu added: "Also, the battle is about to begin, and life and death depend on it! Don't be idle. If you have nothing to do, go to the Qin camp to exchange and train with the soldiers to enhance the morale and combat power of the Qin army!"
"Here, sir!"
Ying Jingyu thought about it again and felt that there was nothing more to explain, so he walked towards his tent again.
After arriving at the camp, he directly picked up a pen and started writing on a white cloth.
The original owner Ying Jingyu's cultural level in the Qin Dynasty was quite good. At least he could easily pick up pictographic fonts like those in the Qin and Han Dynasties.
Ying Jingyu feels that this kind of writing is a bit awkward, but the writing is very smooth. Although it can also be written in the simpler simplified Chinese characters of later generations, I am afraid that no one will understand it.
It seems that if we can rule the world again, we must re-write a new version of the text, at least using the traditional or simplified characters of later generations, so that everyone can learn the knowledge of writing.
After he finished writing, Jingyu took out the Taiwei seal placed in the wooden box on the table and stamped it with the Taiwei seal with a bang.
I blew a few more breaths on the cloth. When it was almost dry, I rolled up the cloth and put it into the prepared bamboo tube and sealed it.
"Li Nian, quickly take this envelope back to Xianyang's 'Qin Blade Wufang' and urge its 'Gunpowder Department' and 'Stone Mining Department' to make large quantities of thunderbolts and transport them to the army without delay!"
"Yes, sir!"
"Also, if the two departments encounter any difficulties, ask them to bring my letter to the father to speed up the progress of the Thunderbolt Bomb, which is a matter of life and death for the garrison at Aoguan Pass!"
"Yes, sir, don't worry. If things don't work out, Li Nian will come and see you!"
"kindness."
Ying Jingyu threw the bamboo tube directly towards Li Nian: "Go quickly!"
Li Nian cupped his fists in salute and ran out as fast as he could. He found a horse and galloped out of the Lantian camp...
"Sima Zhou, go and ask Zheng Chan to come over."
"Yes, sir!"
After waiting in the tent for seven or eight minutes, Zheng Chan walked into the tent, but there were some traces of water on her clothes. It seemed that she had been washing clothes just now, and there was some fine sweat on her face.
After Zheng Chan entered the tent, when she saw Jing Yu's hands wrapped with thick white cloth, she was shocked and asked, "Sir, what's wrong with your hands?"
"Quickly, let Chan take a look."
Jingyu let Zheng Chan hold his hands and said nonchalantly: "It's okay, it's just a slight scratch. It's almost healed."
Zheng Chan looked at Jing Yu's expression that was a little different from before, and was shocked: "Sir, are you angry? Why do you feel..."
Jingyu saw Zheng Chan becoming more and more relaxed in front of him, and couldn't help but said with joy: "Oh? What do you feel?"
"You feel like the young master has become more serious today?"
Jingyu put away his smile, looked at Zheng Chan blankly and said, "Chanchan, I want to ask you, do you know that Liu Bang broke through Wuguan and reached Yaoguan?"
Zheng Chan looked shocked and said: "What? Master, what are you talking about? Hasn't Liu Bang not arrived at Wuguan yet?"
Sure enough, it seems that Zhang Chang definitely doesn't know either. This is a secret...
"Didn't I ask Chanchan to be responsible for forming the 'Shadow' a few days ago? Didn't you send someone to find out about Liu Xiang?"
Zheng Chan laughed: "Sir, it's only been a few days. After I left the palace that day, I went directly to General Zhang's camp to select suitable shadow personnel."
"But within two days, I had only identified five suitable talents, and I heard the news that Young Master was leaving Xianyang. So I asked those five people to go to Xianyang first. There was no time to do any tasks, Young Master."
Of course Jingyu understood: "Haha, so it's a lie that you come to accompany the young master, but it's true that you come to Lantian to recruit talents?"
Zheng Chan pouted: "Well, the young master ordered me to form the 'Shadow', so of course Chan should always keep it in mind."
Ying Jingyu was moved in his heart, as if his heart that had been hit hard today had suddenly found a haven. He stepped forward and gently hugged Zheng Chan.
Then he put his chin on the other person's shoulder, closed his eyes and said softly as if he was relieved: "Chanchan..."
Zheng Chan was also confused by this hug, and her mind was filled with questions: "Sir...Sir, what happened to you, can you tell Chan about it?"
Jingyu sighed: "Don't you know? I don't want to think about anything right now. Can you hug me for a while?"
Zheng Chan's heart melted after hearing this. She stroked the long black hair on Jing Yu's back distressedly, patted Jing Yu's back and said, "Okay, okay. Chan has never seen the young master so sad. Young master, please hurry up."
