Chapter 65 Urgent Summoning
The 120,000 people only calculated two Wudi Divisions. In other words, except for the two Wudi Divisions, the other divisions and brigades were likely to be unable to reach Qifeng due to the restraint of the Qin army. Naojiu knew this result, and he asked unwillingly: "Can't we have to do more? If the Qin people don't notice..."
"No." Li Qi thought about this question many times, but the answer is no.
"If the Qin people know, this..." Although the Qin people noticed it, because they restrained the Chu army from various places, this was probably a disguised gathering of troops, Naojiu did not dare to think so.
"Ten hundred and twenty thousand people, and six hundred thousand people." He looked at the map on the wall and his eyes fixed on the beam. Two months later, a battle of more than seven hundred thousand people will happen here.
"It may not be invincible." Li Qi said. "If it is invincible, you can retreat to Daliang."
Retreating into Daliang is a comforting word. Victory means victory, defeat means defeat, retreating into Daliang means defeat, but you can just drag the Qin people for a few more months. Seeing the cunning eyes shining on your face, Li Qi had to add in awkward manner: "A cannons, spear formations, and heavy cavalry can all break the formation, and the Qin people cannot break me."
"But don't let me tell you that Daliang City is unstable." Nao cunned his eyes and said another thing. "Many ministers from Zhao and Wei have surrendered to Qin."
"Is it true?" Li Qi was not surprised by this. When the troops were at the city, some ministers who did not surrender to Qin were also thinking about surrendering to Qin. "What do they want?"
"I don't know." Naojiu just mentioned this matter, "He may persuade Zhao Wei to surrender to Qin, or he may not send troops to fight. In this way, our army..."
Without the 43,000 soldiers of Wei and Zhao, the number of Chu was less than 80,000, and the number of soldiers of war was more than 56,000. In this way, the comparison of military strength between the two sides would be even more disparate. Li Qie, who had said before, had been speechless by the Qin people, and after a long time, he said: "If this battle is defeated, the two countries will be destroyed."
"If you don't surrender, when will you surrender again?" Nao Ji asked back. After saying that, he sighed: "Your Majesty Pingyuan should not die."
Pingyuan Jun has always been close to Chu, but for some reason, he actually agreed to send his soldiers into Chu State to attack and kill Mi Xuan. There is also Queen Ying Nan, who should have hated Mi Xuan, but she went to Xiaoyi to report the news on the night when the Zhao people attacked Xiaoyi. There are reasonable explanations for details in detail, but without looking at these reasonable explanations, Naojiu felt that it was unlikely based on intuition alone.
Death is like a matter of life. The underworld is exactly the same as the daily tools, but people who feel a little more sensitive will find that the underworld is very different from the instrument. This is the feeling of cunning. However, the difficulty is that the people of Chu hate knowing the minister and the marquis spies. The three Jin marquis spies who know that the minister cannot help him solve his doubts, and their answers are all similar.
Naojiu was worried that Wei and Zhao would surrender to Qin and lamented that Pingyuan Jun would not be killed. If Pingyuan Jun was there, Daliang would definitely be worry-free. Li Qi, who was reminded by him, looked at the face of a 600,000 army, including him, and the generals of the Chu army were all thinking about seeking stability to the Qin people. What would Zhao and Wei think? Are they planning to surrender to Qin or go to war resolutely?
Li Qi was immersed in his thoughts. Wang Jian from the Shahai Camp was shooting arrows while watching thousands of soldiers. He seemed to have nothing happened when he came back from Huai County. He was promoted as usual every day, but the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes deepened several layers.
"Cai!" The feather arrow shot heavily into the bull's eye, and the soldiers watching around cheered and cheered when they saw this. One of the reasons why they like Wang Jian is that they can see Wang Jian at all times, and they feel at ease if they can see Wang Jian.
"Please shoot General Zhao." Wang Jian did not shoot the second arrow immediately, but asked Zhao Yong next to him to shoot the arrow.
"General Zhao shot!" The soldiers took the opportunity to cheer. Zhao Yong was just a Xianyang ruling, or a Xianyang ruling who was killed by Lao Ai. As everyone was cheering, he had no choice but to open his bow. As soon as the arrow left the string, the people on both sides felt that it was wrong. Sure enough, the arrow shot completely deviated.
"Haha..." According to the soldiers' concept, the general should have excellent martial arts skills. No one expected that the general of the Right Army could not even hit the target. Several military officials were careful that Zhao Yong was angry and wanted to run over to order the soldiers to silence.
"If you don't hit it, you won't hit it, so what if you laugh?" Zhao Yong was kind-hearted, and the military officer had to stand aside when he heard this.
"Please shoot General Qiang and General Qiang and shoot." The military officer asked General Left to shoot arrows. Qiang and Feng are the generals who came out of the battlefield. He can shoot on the bumpy chariot and horses. Now fifty steps to shoot arrows on the ground, so it is no problem. Everyone did not see how he took the arrow and opened the bow. He only saw him with the target on his back and flew out with a feathered arrow. The arrow hit the bull's eye.
"Cai!" The shouting was even more enthusiastic than before. Amid the lively cheers, the envoy in soapy clothes appeared in the crowd.
"I don't know the king..." Wang Jian looked at the envoy's speech in the shogunate tent, feeling a little puzzled.
A few days ago, he took his confidant Liu Chi to Huai County and told him about the winter decisive battle. Unexpectedly, the king who had previously urged the decisive battle was now abnormal and no longer anxious. Not only was he not anxious, he also advised him not to be too anxious. The military rations were not only maintained until May next year, as the Prime Minister said, but until May of the following year. The decisive battle with the Chu army will also take place at that time.
Wang Jian knew about military rations. The Prime Minister said that May was only a time under normal levying. If the food rations of common people were seized, it might not be possible to support one year. A family of five had rations a year, and each family had thirty stones to maintain the army for one year. But the decisive battle with the Chu army the next year was very puzzled. It was not until Liu Chi whispered a witchcraft on the way back that he realized it.
"The king urgently summoned the general, asking the general to go to Huai County with his subordinates as soon as possible." The messenger was the common messenger before. Just like before, he summoned him with three bronze talismans, which was urgently summoned.
"I don't know what the king is doing?" Wang Jian was secretly shocked. Last year, the Huns detained the craftsman from the extreme west. Ganluo once again went to the extreme west country for the witch and medicine craftsman. Could it be that Ganluo was back?
"I don't know. I'll ask the general and the minister to go to Huai County quickly. The king is anxious." Every time I summoned Wang Jian and Wang Jian, I had to arrange everything in the army before leaving. The envoy was worried that Wang Jian would still be like this time, so he had to add a sentence.
"No. No." Wang Jian agreed repeatedly, and when he got up and wanted to leave the tent, the eunuch said again, "The king also summoned Liu Chi."
"No, summon Liu Chi quickly." Wang Jian's expression changed, and his face felt a little joyful.
Shahai was not close to Huai County, but this was an urgent call. The carriage drove all night and arrived in Huai County the next night. The two of them did not enter the inn for a while, but immediately went to the brightly lit main bedroom. When they arrived at the main bedroom, Wang Jian realized that when the time came, the rooster crowed, Zhao Zheng was still looking at the map on the wall.
"My minister Wang Jian, Liu Chi has seen the king!" Wang Ye of the Qin Dynasty could not sleep and looked at the map of Daliang. Wang Jian and Liu Chi were shocked.
"No gifts." Zhao Zheng's voice was a little tired. He had not had a good sleep for three or four days. "Jingren Camp is sixty miles away from Daliang, and how many miles away from Daliang is the sea of sand?"
"Report to the King, Daliang is fifteen miles away from the sea of sand." Wang Jian replied. "Qifeng reaches the sea of sand, and it is ninety miles west of Fengze."
"What if it's still frozen?" Zhao Zheng asked.
"Frozen?" Wang Jian was a little strange. "Report to the king, Ruofen Qianqian has reached seventy miles of the sand sea."
"Yeah." Zhao Zheng nodded. "The spy from the Marquis of Jing State told me the day before yesterday that the people of Jing wanted to attack me when the winter was frozen. They gathered 200,000 troops..."
The news from Zhao Zheng shocked Wang Jian. At this time, he had not yet come back to his senses from the bumps of more than two hundred miles. The Marquis of Jing State, when did the Marquis of Qin State have Marquis of Jing State? This is something that has never happened before! In addition, the State of Chu gathered 200,000 troops, and where would there be 200,000 people in Chu State? The nobles of Chu State would rather destroy the country than implement the Qin law. How could anyone voluntarily serve as soldiers?
The shock of Wang Jian and Liu Chi fell in Zhao Zheng's eyes. He was a little proud of this. The State of Chu, who had been dark and didn't know anything before, now saw it clearly. Yin Li, the Minister of the Operations Department, announced the military order that day, and the spy spread the news that day. The carrier pigeon flew to Xianyang overnight, and Xianyang reached Huai County two days later, and then he urgently summoned Wang Jian.
"What should the general think?" Zhao Zheng asked when Wang Jian's surprise diminished slightly.
"I don't know why there are 200,000 people in Jing?" Wang Jian asked, thinking about it but he didn't know what he understood.
"There should be 160,700 or 70,000 people in Yue, Lu, Song, Wu, Nanjun, Ba, and the southern barbarians. In addition, the Wei and Zhao army should be 200,000." Zhao Zhengdao.
"How could the people of Jing abandon many important places?" Wang Jian was incredible.
"If you gather troops to attack me, that's the case." Liu Chi said in a low voice from one side. He understood what Xiong Jing meant. If you lose, it doesn't matter if you abandon it; if you win, it doesn't matter if you abandon it.
"No, no." Wang Jian still shook his head. "The people of Jing are used to taking care of their families and fighting in their own territory. They will never abandon their families and gather troops in Qifeng. Yue is in Langya, Zhifu can attack it; Lu is in Muling, Qi people can attack it; Song is in the waters, sand seas can attack it; Nanjun is in Deng, Nanyang can attack it; Ba is in Yangguan, Shu can attack it; only Wu army, the barbarians in the south can gather in Qifeng. There are less than 100,000 people."
"The State Wei Mansion also thought that if troops were sent to restrain Yue, Lu, Song, Nanjun, and Ba, there would be only 100,000 people in Jing." Zhao Zheng nodded slowly, indicating that Wang Jian's judgment was correct.
"No, no." Wang Jian found out that this was offending Zhao Zheng, so he hurriedly bowed. Zhao Zheng was not interested in this, and the decisive battle was about to be imminent, so he just wanted to listen to Wang Jian's opinion. "I think it's not enough to send troops to restrain the various places and send people to create momentum. The people of Jing take care of the family, but when we hear that our army is attacking, we will not distinguish between true and false, and we will not abandon our family and gather in Kaifeng."
"Is this a plan?" Zhao Zheng was surprised this time. The Grand Sima Mansion of Chu State had issued an order, but the divisions dared not to obey.
"It must be like this." Wang Jian was very sure. "The Song people may have been in the Qifeng period, but our army entered the Song territory a few years ago, and the Song people were afraid that I would enter the Song territory again."
"The Jing people are 100,000, and our army is 600,000?" Zhao Zheng half-believed and half-doubted, and said the strength of both sides.
"If we plan ahead, our army will have a small number of 600,000 people." Wang Jian asked Zhao Zheng to increase his troops last time, but after Zhao Zheng learned that the two armies were very different, he would rather wait for the witch and medicine craftsmen from the extreme western country than fight immediately.
"No, it's as you asked before." Zhao Zheng wanted to wait, but the Chu people couldn't wait, so it was impossible to retreat.
