Chapter 340
At the end of June of the tenth year of Qin Wangzheng, Qin Guo sent 20 soldiers from the four armies of Sanchuan County, Hedong County, Nanyang County, and Dong County, and most of the Dragon and Tiger Forbidden Army entered Wei State, and combined with Wei Army [-] to attack Chu.
Yang Ming led the Habayashi Guards to set off from Xianyang in mid-July, and finally joined the [-] troops assembled here on the south bank of Jishui River, then went south along Jishui River, entered Dingtao, and approached the upper reaches of Sishui and Danshui, as the east route The army, the soldiers pointed directly at Shanfu, Xucheng and other places in the state of Chu, while the army of Wei went out of Daliang, walked to Suishui, and pointed directly at Suiyang, the important place in Huaibei of the state of Chu.
When Qin State and Wei State were planning to mobilize troops against Chu State, the Chu Palace of Chu State Shouchun had already obtained relevant information. However, the entanglement between Chu State and Wei State for so many years makes it impossible for Chu State not to invest a large number of intelligence personnel in Wei State. What's more, the land of Huaisi of the two countries is the original land of Song State, and they infiltrate each other It would have been easy to get up.
Shouchun, Chu Palace.
Because of the failure of the five-nation coalition to attack Qin a few years ago, Chu State clearly realized that it is no longer feasible to fight against Qin according to the trend of the joint vertical, and the capital Chenying is far away from Qin and Qin The State of Wei is too close, but Chen Ying is not as tall and deep as Daliang, and the State of Chu is vast. In order to avoid the threat from the State of Qin, and to better control the land in the east, we have to get rid of the interior of the State of Chu by the way. Influenced by the Qu, Jing, and Zhao clans, the former king of Chu, the father of Lord Xiong Qi of Changping, has become history.
As compensation, King Chu Kaolie confiscated the land in the east of Wujun to Huang Xie. In this era, the land in the east of Wujun was naturally sparsely populated, which was not a good place, but after more than 2000 years, it was there. It will become a demonized place, because there is a word 'Shen' in that place.
Of course, these are all digressions. In the palace of the Chu Kingdom at this time, several important ministers of the Chu Kingdom gathered together, but the former Chunshen Lord Huang Xie was not among them. Queen Li Yanyan's brother, Li Yuan, attacked and killed her. Now Ling Yin Li Yuan of Chu State, as the brother of the Empress Dowager and the uncle of the young King of Chu, is in charge of Yin and supervises the country.
As for Li Yuan, who had been unable to get along in Zhao State and had to come to Chu State to beg for a living, although his methods of superiority were quite dishonorable, he was able to push his sister to the position of Queen Mother of Chu State step by step from a commoner. With their own means.
While Li Yuan continued to suppress the three clans, he also wooed more powerful clans in the Chu state, such as Xiang Yan, the current general of the Chu state.
"General, now Qin and Wei are sending 20 troops to attack, do you have a good plan to retreat?" Li Yuan asked Xiang Yan.
"It's just a war." Facing Li Yuan's question, Xiang Yan's answer was very simple.
"Is it possible to win?" Li Yuan asked.
Right now, the positions of Li Yuan and the Young King of Chu are still unstable. If Qin and Wei countries come to attack, if Chu is defeated, the internal hearts will definitely fluctuate. Even if he has the support of the Queen Mother Li Yanyan, he may not be able to stabilize his position .
Chu State was defeated, and what he lost was only the land, but if Li Yuan lost, what he lost might be his own life. Therefore, for the upcoming war, Li Yuan has too many reasons not to be defeated, at least not too much. awful.
"The state of Wei has been defeated by the Qin army year after year. Last year, it lost tens of thousands of elites. This year, the whole country has tried its best. Although it has assembled a [-] army, the real elites are only around [-]. Our real opponent is that One hundred thousand Qin troops." Xiang Yan said.
"Is there a way to defeat the enemy?" Li Yuan asked.
"To what extent does Ling Yin mean to destroy the enemy?" Xiang Yan asked rhetorically.
"This..." Li Yuan hesitated, to what extent did he defeat the enemy, undefeated, victorious?It's still a big victory, and the difference is huge.
"At least you can't lose the land." Li Yuan said, the responsibility of losing the land is not so easy to bear.
"If that's the case, I'm afraid it will be very difficult." Xiang Yan said in a deep voice, "Chu is thousands of miles across. The country is vast, but it also has a very long border. It is very difficult to effectively defend against such a long border. Difficult."
"What does General Yi mean?" Li Yuan asked.
"The Qin-Wei Allied Forces came from afar. We can trade the country for fighter opportunities, use the city as a bait to disperse the Qin-Wei Allied Forces, and then look for opportunities to defeat the Qin-Wei Allied Forces." Xiang Yan said her plan.
If the Chu State wants to face the Qin and Wei allied forces, if they want to fight head-on, they will have to pay a huge price. The Qin and Wei armies are already superior to the Chu army in terms of elite level, and this time they have an advantage in terms of strength. Fighting is not a wise move.
"Is this plan feasible?" Li Yuan asked.
"I'm afraid there is no better choice." Xiang Yan said.
Li Yuan took a deep look at Xiang Yan, and didn't express his opinion on Xiang Yan's suggestion. He was not the leader of the army like Xiang Yan. Compared with Xiang Yan who only thought about things on the battlefield, Li Yuan thought more about it.
Immediately, Li Yuan still said: "The general will integrate the troops as soon as possible. No matter what the final decision is, everything will still fall on the army."
"Xiang Yan doesn't dare to be negligent in the military affairs." Xiang Yan also said seriously.
After the crowd dispersed, Li Yuan did not leave Chu Palace immediately, but came to the East Palace where Empress Dowager Li lived.
"The coalition forces of Qin and Wei are coming in menacingly, do you have a countermeasure?" Queen Mother Li asked.
"It's not that simple, does my sister have any good strategies?" Li Yuan looked at his sister and asked.
In Li Yuan's sight, there is a woman kneeling behind a desk. She is not very old, but she is only 27 or [-] years old. It is picturesque, wearing a corset to make Chu's waist full of coquettishness, what is more special about her is that she has a slightly round face, which makes the Queen Mother of Chu even have a child who is ten years old, but she still has A trace of childishness.
This trace of childishness is a huge temptation for older men. It is a breath called youth. It is precisely because of this that King Chu Kaolie ignored the objections of all his ministers and forced Li Yan Yan Li became the queen, which made her the current queen mother.
Li Yuan was able to get to this day, although he has his own ability, but the premise of all this is the beauty of his sister Li Yanyan, that is, the Queen Mother, which is the foundation of his fortune.
"What knowledge can I have as a woman, and how can I talk about good strategies." Queen Mother Li said.
"However, elder brother must first understand what the purpose of the Qin and Wei countries is, only in this way can we prescribe the right medicine." Empress Dowager Li added.
"What is the purpose of the Qin and Wei countries?" Li Yuan was slightly startled, and suddenly seemed to understand something.
"Sister, you don't have much knowledge, so wouldn't my head be even more useless?" Li Yuan pointed at his head and said.
"The Ai family didn't say anything." Empress Dowager Li said, although she had an idea, how to implement it was still inseparable from her elder brother Li Yuan.
"That's right, the coalition forces of the Qin and Wei dynasties came here for different purposes. If we target the goals of the two countries, although we may not be able to find a way to break the enemy, we can find a way to break the situation." Li Yuan suppressed his heart. said excitedly.
"It's just that the purpose of Qin State and Wei State, Wei State is to seize the old land of Song State, and Qin State's expedition to help Wei State should be just to eliminate the possibility of a union between Chu and Wei." Li Yuan, who was awakened by his sister's words, analyzed. , A clear picture gradually appeared in his mind.
"Qin State wants power, while Wei State wants territory, and what I want is stable power and position." Li Yuan analyzed and already had a plan in mind.
While Shouchun of Chu State was actively preparing for the war, the [-] Qin troops stationed in Dingtao had already divided into two groups and went down Sishui and Danshui. And Wei Jun also went south along Sui River at about the same time, pointing to the important town of Suiyang.
At the end of July in the tenth year of Qin Wangzheng, the Qin army came to the city of Shanfu.
Shanfu was originally a city of the State of Lu, but it was captured by the State of Chu decades ago. According to legend, it was the place where Emperor Shun’s teacher Shanjuan lived, hence the name.
Surrounded by 8000 Qin troops, and the reinforcements from Chu were delayed, Shanfu's place was very limited. A city with a population of [-] was captured.
In the Qin army camp outside Shanfu City, Yang Ming looked at the trembling Shanfu county magistrate and a middle-aged man beside him, and couldn't help laughing. Coincidentally, here he met a People who have met but have impressions in Yang Ming's memory.
"Qin Jun just took over Shanfu's city defense and treasury. As for the rest, everything remains the same." Under the awe-inspiring eyes of the two, Yang Ming said.
"General benevolence and righteousness." As a conqueror, what Yang Ming said at this time is definitely benevolent and righteous. When the city was broken, the people in Shanfu City had already prepared for the worst interruption. Unexpectedly, Qin The army is quite reasonable.
"Forget benevolence and righteousness, this is not much praise for the leader of the army." Yang Ming said.
Just when Shanfu Ling and the middle-aged man were about to breathe a sigh of relief, Yang Ming suddenly said: "However, the soldiers under my command suffered minor casualties during the attack on Shanfu. Shouldn't Shanfu's people do this?" Compensation is it?"
"Yes, yes." Shan Fuling replied hastily.
Taking the initiative to pay and being paid, although both are paying, are two completely different things.
"If everyone is as sensible as you, then everything will be easy to talk about. How about it, the rich and wealthy families in the city will each contribute one-third of their property, and the matter will be over."
"Your official position was given to you by the King of Chu. Now that Shan Fu belongs to Qin State, you can no longer serve as Shan Fu Ling. Lu Wen, this position is for you." To the middle-aged scribe next to Shan Fuling.
Lu Wen, a very interesting name.
