Just as Xiang Liang and others mobilized the Chu army near Shouchun and were preparing to cross the river and ate the 200,000 Qin troops that had been across the river, probably Xiang Liang would never have dreamed of two places across the Huai River.
The Qin army stationed in the camp has quietly changed people.
Although Jixia Academy sent news to Xiang Liang, he didn't know that Ji Nie, who was far away in Handan, was actually unable to protect himself at this moment. In the entire Guanzhong, there were basically Long Wei and Hei Bingtai on the open and secret surveillance.
The dead soldiers sent to Guanzhong from Ji Nie could not enter Xianyang at all. They could only stay in the wilderness, monitoring the road from Xianyang to Hangu Pass. They barely collected points, basically the entire Xianyang people knew about it.
news.
The two armies of Qinglong and Baihu went south, and all the labor was summoned from the people of Xianyang, and they were all innocent old Qin people. As for the soldiers of Qinglong and Baihu Army, it was impossible for them to easily get in as black iron.
.
When he discovered that the Qin army had been out of the pass, Ji Nie sent a dead soldier who came to Guanzhong to help Xiang Liang monitor the Qin army's actions, and immediately tried his best to get out of Hangu Pass and send the news to Jiujiang.
After all, Xiang Liang cannot be the same as the messaging methods used by the Qin Dynasty today, with light white paper, a letter eagle and a carrier pigeon. Although Jixia Academy also has unique channels, it is obvious that it can only be used at critical moments, not like black.
The Iron Black Bird Camp can quickly deliver messages at any time.
During the process of moving south, the two armies of Qinglong and Baihu sent a large number of scouts to monitor the army nearly a hundred miles away. The dead soldiers from Jixia Academy could not get close to the army at all.
Therefore, when reporting to Xiang Liang about the movements of the Qin army going south, the news from Jixia Academy was obviously slower than a few days.
Many times, these few days or even one day can often influence the success or failure of a war, and even the survival of a country.
...
From leaving Xianyang on August 20th, to the ninth day of September, the Qinglong Army led by Xu Chuang and the White Tiger Army led by Du Teng have all reached the north bank of the Huai River opposite the capital of Xinchu.
Three days ago, Han Xin had already commanded 100,000 soldiers and more than 30,000 civilians advanced east along the Huai River and headed to Guangling County (later Yangzhou) in Donghai County.
General Han Xin led the 100,000 troops from Guangling to cross the Yangtze River into Jiangdong, the former land of the Xiang clan, Kuaiji County.
Two days after Han Xin led the army eastward, on the eighth day of September, Feng Jie, who received the news that the Qinglong and White Tiger army was about to arrive, also led his 100,000 troops and more than 20,000 civilians to move eastward along the Huaihe River. Feng Jie Shi Shi
The final stay of Wan Dajun was between Fuli, Sishui County (northeast of Su County, Anhui) and Zhongli County, Jiujiang County (next to the east of Linhuai Town, Fengyang County), because there was a Huai River between them.
At the same time, the Xuanwu Army of Weng Zhong's troops, with more than 50,000 people and more than 20,000 people, also entered Hengshan County from Nanyang. The entire county of Hengshan was only one city, and it was the county seat of Zhu County (later Huangzhou, Hubei). Weng Zhong did not detour.
, but went directly along the eastern foot of the Dabie Mountains to Anfeng County (southeast of Gushi County, Henan) in Jiujiang County.
Hu Hai, Wei Liao and others repeatedly discussed, believing that since Chu Xiang Yu Nie and Ziying and Zhao Tuo's Nanyue are already colluding together, the best way is to concentrate all your efforts to eliminate one side first, so there is no need to worry about the two sides being in harmony.
Together.
Although the Xuanwu Army led by Weng Zhong only has more than 50,000 people, it can be said to be the most powerful force in the world with attack and defense.
Unless Xiang Liang discovered that hundreds of thousands of troops of the Qin Dynasty were approaching, he did not even resist, and directly led hundreds of thousands of Chu troops to flee to the south Vietnam, but this possibility was too small.
Let’s not talk about the fact that the army Hu Hai dispatched this time was actually similar to that of the Chu army. Even if the Qin army had more than the Chu army, Hu Hai believed that Xiang Liang would not leave Jiangdong and Shouchun and go directly to join Ziying.
Shouchun and Jiangdong are really too important to the Chu State and the Xiang family.
Therefore, Hu Hai was not worried about Weng Zhong's more than 50,000 people. Even when facing more than 100,000 Chu troops, Hu Hai believed that Weng Zhong could win in one battle.
Under the eyes of the Chu army, it was obviously unrealistic to carry out large-scale military mobilization, and it was not discovered by the Chu State.
So when we first arrived at the north bank of the Huai River, Feng Jie and Han Xin chose to set up camp farther away from the Huai River.
In more than a month, although the Qin army did not launch an attack and the Chu army did not intend to cross the river, the open and secret struggle between the two armies' swords has never stopped for more than a month.
In fact, they were mainly scouts who sent Xiang Liang to cross the river. Feng Jie and Han Xin both knew that the capital of Chu was opposite and Xiang Liang could not escape. Moreover, the emperor also specifically said that there was no need to send scouts to cross the river to investigate the reality of the Chu army, so
The Qin army has actually been in a defensive state.
In more than a month, the scouts on both sides were killed and injured.
For more than a month, Feng Jie and Han Xin remained unmoved, and Xiang Liang had already figured out the reality of the two armies. He gradually stopped making indifferent sacrifices. After all, in the secret battle with the Qin army scouts, he was always at a disadvantage.
It's the Chu army.
It was under this illusion that Han Xin left more than a thousand soldiers to raise smoke as usual and patrol the camp as usual, and 100,000 troops quietly left the camp in the dark, but Xiang Liang had no idea.
When Han Xin was almost out of Sishui for hundreds of miles away from the camp, Feng Jie also moved his troops eastward while night, using a trick like Han Xin.
The next day, on the ninth day of the ninth month, the two armies of Qinglong and Baihu also had 200,000 troops, and entered the camp left by Feng Jie and Han Xin respectively. The exchange was completed without knowing it.
The large-scale movement of soldiers near Shouchun spread for dozens of miles. Xu Chuang and Du Teng, who had just arrived at Feng Jie and Han Xin's camp, quickly got the news.
When the Chu army was mobilized, it was obvious that it was necessary to take some action.
The two gathered together and observed silently for a while, whispered a few words and then returned to the camp. It seemed that they did not take the mobilization of the Chu army on the other side of the river to heart. In the eyes of the Chu army scouts, it seemed that the Qin army on the other side of the river was as if they were on the other side of the river.
There was no movement at all, and there was no increase in basic alert, and everything was as usual.
Of course, if they could enter the two camps, they would know that there was already a pre-war tension in the camp.
Xu Chuang and Du Teng actually did not expect that Xiang Liang would take the initiative to cross the river and launch an attack on the Qin army first. They just thought that the Chu army was guarding against the Qin army's attack that might cross the river, and even the two thought that Feng Jie and Han Xin kept it secret.
The work was not done well, which made Xiang Liang discover that he was the arrival of these two armies.
After three days like this, the noisy Shouchun gradually became quiet.
September 14th, it should have been a day when the moon is full of clouds, but today, the entire Jiangnan land is shrouded in thick darkness and is trapped in the darkness where you can't see your fingers.
In Jiujiang County, Xinchu, Quyang City (near Fengyang County, Anhui Province), more than 100 miles east of Shouchun, was already in a darkness. There was no light inside or outside the entire Quyang City.
If someone could see things in the dark at this time, they would find that around the small Quyang City, countless black shadows stood densely on the banks of the Huai River outside Quyang City, either standing or lying.
Suddenly, on the north bank of the Huai River opposite Quyang, several lights suddenly flashed, followed by two consecutive flashes, and then returned to darkness. If it weren't for deliberately staring at it, many people would think that was an illusion.
Outside Quyang City, there is a large and covered tent.
A black shadow ran out of the darkness, knelt on one knee and clasped his fists and whispered to the big tent: "Report to General, the scouts on the other side have sent a signal."
Hearing this sound, the originally dead tent suddenly opened a crack. The dim light in the tent suddenly leaked out a bright thin line with the opened curtain. A figure flashed out, and then the account was soon put.
The curtain is blocked.
"I ordered the children of Jiangdong to board the boat and cross the river! The entire army was cut off and there were no noise, and there would be no mercy to kill them!"
