When the first month of winter was coming to an end, Wang Jian led an army of 800,000 Qin troops, which was claimed to be an army of two million, to attack Chu. This time, the Qin army's fighting style was completely different from before.

When attacking South Korea, they advanced 500 miles in seven days, forcing Wei Zhuang to lead his army out for a decisive battle. If he didn't come out, the people of South Korea would completely return to Qin.

When attacking Zhao, Wei, and Yan, the tactics are very simple. Basically, you lead a large army and find the enemy's main force to fight with them! When their main force is eliminated, the country will also perish.

There is no big problem with this tactic, but it is different in Chu State. Since arriving in Chu State, Wang Jian has taken it one step at a time and is not in a hurry.

In just three months, the 800,000-strong army has only advanced 1,500 miles. So far, it seems that they are suppressing the princes, suppressing the rangers, and suppressing all those who disobey Qin's laws.

Even though many feudal lords secretly expressed to Qin that they would surrender as soon as the army came over, Wang Jian remained unmoved.

No matter how nice you say it, I can't hear you!

At the end of winter, although Xiang Yan felt that the Qin army was too cautious, he was not desperate. He even had the idea of ​​winning the war.

However, when spring came to an end, Xiang Yan's mood became a little unsettled. Because by this time, half of Chu's territory had become Qin's.

In the past six months, the Qin Army has done two main things.

The first is military control, which uses military law to govern all those who dare to resist the Qin Dynasty. Under military law, there will be no thorns in the side, and it will be easier to manage.

The second was to build roads. A five-foot-wide road came from the north to the Chu State. With this road, food transportation would be more convenient. Seeing these endless supplies of food, Xiang Yan felt desperate for the first time.

.

Even at this moment, the strange people and strangers who originally gathered around Xiang Yan have all left one after another. If before the war started, there were a thousand strange people and strangers around him, then before March there were only 500 left, and now there are even more

There are only one hundred.

Among these one hundred people, 80% had a blood feud with Great Qin. They were either nobles of the Six Nations or rangers of the Six Nations. They had all committed crimes and were not tolerated by Qin's laws.

He looked up at the sky and saw that it was already summer. Xiang Yan planned to seek an opportunity to fight a decisive battle with the Qin army! Although the food supply was still sufficient, his morale was about to be exhausted!

Although the 600,000-strong army is large, a considerable part of it comes from domestic lords, and now the territories of many lords have become the territory of Qin.

And after Xiang Yan took the initiative to execute several princes who wanted to flee back to their hometown with their troops, the remaining princes looked at him every day as if they were dead people.

You, Xiang Yan, don't let us go home, you make us obey orders, and you govern us with military law. No problem, who makes your fist big?

But you, Xiang Yan, have to do something, right?

If we don’t leave, we will start a decisive battle with the Qin army!

The princes sought a decisive battle. When the weather came to summer, when the weather was the hottest, so hot that the Qin army had to take off their armor, Xiang Yan had no reason or excuse to continue delaying.

If we don't fight, the feudal lords below will join forces!

Xiang Yan doesn't care about one or two lords, but all the lords put together, not to mention him, even the King of Chu can't stand it!

Sighing, Xiang Yan took the initiative to seek a decisive battle!

…

Within the Qin army camp, many generals also began to seek a decisive battle. Today they gathered together and once again expressed their intention for a decisive battle.

Sitting on the handsome chair, Wang Jian played with the tiger talisman in his hand. Inside the camp, the generals sat on the left and right, saying nothing and remaining silent.

They are just eager to fight, but they do not want to rebel collectively and threaten Shangguan. The former is nothing, but the latter is more serious.

With a snap, Wang Jian threw the tiger talisman onto the table, and then he stood up: "Has your Majesty sent an order to urge our army to demand a quick decisive battle?"

"No!"

"The king trusts the general and entrusts everything to the general."

"No, your Majesty still supports us."

"Yes, your Majesty is very good."

"So, did the Prime Minister send a document to the army saying that there was not enough food?"

"No, I heard from my family that the rice in Guanzhong is growing very well this year. If nothing else, it will be another bumper harvest, and a bumper harvest than last year!"

"No, since the road was built, our army's food reserve has changed from twenty days to sixty days. In other words, even if not a grain of food is transported from the rear from now on, our army can still hold on for two days.

A month long!”

"If nothing else, let's talk about the Chu land itself. Since the army took over, a lot of food has been grown. Many places here have two crops a year, and there is no shortage of water. It is really a good place."

"The only drawback may be that there are more things in the water. Pigs and dragons can be seen everywhere, and there are tigers and lions everywhere on the mountains, but they are just used as meat. The men are free to hunt, so the army will not be short of meat."

"In that case, what are you worried about?" Having said this, Wang Jian sat down again. Although he was not angry and just asked calmly, the generals looked down at the floor like a kid who had made a mistake.

like a statue.

The soldiers below want to demand a war, and the centurions, thousand commanders and even the captains below also want to demand a war. As their superiors, even if they know that the situation at this moment is not suitable for a war, what can they do?

You can only go to the Chinese army camp and ask for a battle. If you just ask for it, no matter whether it succeeds or not, the soldiers below will not be dissatisfied, and you can continue to unite them and command them to move forward!

Otherwise, in the army, if the soldiers under your command are dissatisfied with you, then you, the general, have done your best. So they must come over even if they know they will be scolded.

Even if he can be beaten with ten to twenty military sticks later, his back will be covered with blood, and he will be carried back to the station, then the soldiers will naturally feel at ease.

This is the order of the general. You dare to question it. Are you dissatisfied with the general? Are you dissatisfied with Qin Fa? Are you dissatisfied with the king? Do you want to rebel?!

Glancing at the generals who were pretending to be dead pigs, Wang Jian picked up the tiger talisman again: "Our army can still hold on now, but it's just a little hotter, and the Chu army can no longer hold on!"

"This summer in front of them is their last counterattack. As long as they hold on, it will be the time when their hearts are gone. They have lost their hearts and discipline, and the 600,000-strong army cannot even compare to 600,000 pigs!"

"Are you still worried that you won't have any meritorious deeds at that time? What's more, even if Chu and Qi are destroyed, there will still be other worlds waiting for you to fight!"

"If I were you, I would calm down and study hard. Whether it is learning the art of war or martial arts, even if it is not useful today or tomorrow, it will be useful in all the worlds one day!"
