117 The gate of Zhaimen hangs a war-free sign, and another strange soldier seeks Yanling.
"Report! The Chu army is inviting war outside the village, don't know how to deal with it?"
Li Xin lowered his head and was writing something on the desk. Hearing him, he said softly, "Didn't you hang up the battle-free sign? Tell the soldiers not to go out for the time being."
"promise."
A moment later, another Qin army soldier strode forward: "Report!! The Chu army shouted insulting the general's parents, wife and children outside the village, which was particularly harsh. I don't know how to deal with it?"
Li Xin was still indifferent: "Let the Chu people scold them. Anyway, scolding them will not make me lose a piece of meat. Tell the soldiers that they will be free of war signs for one day. No one is allowed to lead the army to fight without my military order. Those who violate the order will be killed!"
"Follow the order."
After a while, the Qin army soldier who had just come to report came back again: "Report! The Chu army was going to invite a single cavalry outside, and several generals wanted to go to fight, so they sent villains to ask for their orders."
Li Xin finally raised his head: "I want to fight alone? Haha, are there any warriors among the Chu people? We sent our military orders to General Lu Bu to fight in the camp, and told him to be careful when he is guarded against the tricks of the Chu people."
"Get orders!"
Since the young man left, the sound of rumbling drums suddenly sounded outside the tent, and a moment later, Lu Bu's loud scolding and the impact of gold and iron intersecting. In the end, all these sounds were covered by the cheers of countless Qin soldiers.
"General, fortunately, I am happy to be in disgrace. Everyone who invites the battle is here." Lu Bulong walked and threw a bloody head to the ground.
Li Xin smiled and poured a glass of wine and handed it to Lu Bu. After Lu Bu finished drinking it, he asked, "Have the Chu army retreated?"
Lu Bu also smiled and said, "We wanted to fight to the decisive battle but we were free to fight. We were alone and we were not our opponents. The Chu army could only retreat in depressed manner."
"Hahaha, this is what we want to achieve. It is to hold them back, not to let them return to Yingchen, nor to rush to fight with them. We will preserve the strength of our army to the greatest extent, and keep the reinforcements from Xianyang and then defeat them in one go." Li Xin believes that it will not take long for the reinforcements sent by Xianyang to arrive at the city of Yingchen. Anyway, they have occupied Yanling City for a while, and there is no problem with these Chu troops here for a few months. Therefore, Li Xinle hung the battle-free sign every day and waited for the arrival of the fighter plane.
On this side, Li Xin and Lu Bu were chatting and laughing, while Xiang Liang on the other side was frowning and covered in sorrow, staring at the military map in front of him silently.
Seeing Xiang Liang not talking, a general of Chu had to speak first: "General Xiang Liang, the Qin people occupied Yanling with sufficient food and grass. If they kept dragging us like this, I am afraid that Shouchun would definitely...."
Xiang Liang shook his head and interrupted the man with some annoyance: "What I worry most now is not the matter in Shouchun, but when will Qin Xianyang send large troops to rescue the Qin army opposite? If the Qin army's rescue troops are allowed to connect with the Qin army opposite, I am afraid that our entire Chu State will be in danger!"
"Why doesn't the general always launch a strong attack, but just invites battles outside the Qin army camp every day?" the man asked in confusion before.
Xiang Liang glanced at the man coldly: "What do you know? Do you know how many casualties we have to pay to capture the Qin army camp if we forcefully attack the Qin army camp?"
The Chu general was a little embarrassed and angry and shouted loudly: "My kindness! No matter how serious the casualties are, it is better than the strength that has been spent here every day? If you always consider the casualties and are timid in the enemy, how can you achieve great things?"
"Woman's kindness? Humph! Even if you temporarily repel the Qin army without regard to casualties and capture the camps opposite, do you think our army still has the strength to attack the Jiancheng Yanling at that time? Xiang Jie, if I hadn't been for the sake of your ability to be my father's capable general, how could I tolerate you being so disrespectful to me? Why don't you retreat with me!!" Xiang Liang slapped the table suddenly and shouted at the general Chu loudly.
Xiang Liang's identity is not just a general who inherited his father's business. He was in his teens and went to war with his brother Xiang Chao. He experienced countless wars in more than ten years of war, and he was known as a wise general. It can be said that Xiang Liang's reputation in the Xiang family's army is second only to his father and brother. Seeing Xiang Liang angry, although Xiang Jie was considered Xiang Liang's uncle in terms of seniority, he did not dare to continue to be arrogant and had to retreat to the queue to stand.
Xiang Liang snorted lightly, pointed to the military map on the table and said, "Although the Qin people occupied Yanling, they were not Chu after all. The people of Yanling would definitely not have a good impression of the Qin soldiers in the city. What's more, there were many Chu soldiers stationed in Yanling City. Even if most of them died when the city was broken, tens of thousands of people should be hiding in the homes of the people in the city. As long as we can send a surprise soldier outside Yanling City and establish contact with the remnants of the Chu soldiers in the city, it would be easy to seize Yanling while the main force of the Qin army confronted us!
I go to the Qin army to fight every day, but in fact I just test the intentions of the Qin army. They will hang out the battle cards whenever we ask them to fight in a large military battle these days. Once we ask them to fight alone, they will send the young man with a weird halberd to the battle, which is enough to make me conclude that they are delaying the time waiting for the arrival of Qin reinforcements. Moreover, they know that Yanling is unstable, so in order to prevent us from secretly circling around their camp, they sprinkle a large number of scouts to monitor our army. It is really a warning that it is amazing."
When Xiang Liang said this, he shook his head helplessly and sighed heavily: "This also forced me to send Xiang Quan to lead an army, and rushed to Yanling from a remote mountain path, Raoyuan Road. This road is very hidden and will never be known by the Qin army. The only disadvantage is that it will take a lot more time to travel on the mountain road. Therefore, this is also the reason why I went to the Qin army to invite the camp every day, so that the Qin army would not have doubts about our army's actions for such a long time, attract their attention to us, and help Xiang Quan attack Yanling."
When the group of Chu generals heard that Xiang Liang had sent a side army to Yanling, they immediately showed a hint of joy. Xiang Jie scratched his head with a little embarrassed look: "General, I, Xiang Jie, just now, was too impatient. I ran into the general and I hope the general will forgive me."
"Don't think that if I send a side army, I will definitely be able to annihilate these Qin troops. Now we want to compete with the Qin reinforcements to see if we first attack Yanling and then encircle and suppress these Qin troops, or if the Qin reinforcements entered Yingchen City before this and launched an attack on Yingchen City. If it were the former, we still have the power to fight the Qin reinforcements head-on. If it were the latter, we could only give up the encirclement and suppression of these Qin troops and return to Yingchen City. In the future, we can only resist the attack of Qin reinforcements while guarding against the Qin troops on the other side..." Xiang Liang was happy to see the generals, as long as he told them the current dangerous situation.
And just before Xiang Liang finished speaking, a commotion suddenly came from outside the door.
