Even at night, Mi Xuan was still thinking about the Qi people who died of the sword. She felt that this person died because of herself. If the man did not order the whole army exercise, he would not die.

On this day, the coalition forces advanced 133 Chuli according to the marching plan. During this period, the cavalry of the two armies frequently raided and counterattacked. The battle mainly occurred in the logistics convoy fifteen miles later in the central army. The Qin army attacked the logistics convoy frantically, and the offensive line continued to the west of Linzi City. The coalition cavalry and the 60,000 troops left in Linzi to fight against the enemy cavalry with all their strength to ensure the integrity of the logistics convoy.

Under the harassment of such a long front, the advantage must be the Qin cavalry. The coalition forces can only ensure that the most important baggage, horses, are not burned by the enemy. Ten thousand war horses and more than 3,000 horses are required for the general, the generals, military stations, military guards, artillery, engineers, luggage (tents), and 30,000 horses consume 300 tons of fodder every day, and 1,500 tons in five days. To ensure that the coalition forces need at least 1,500 baggage carriages in five days. Including the actual horse consumption of the baggage carriage convoy, this number is about 2,000.

The Guangchu army brought more than 10,000 four-wheeled carriages. The Qi army only lost the Gaotang army, the Linzi army, and the Jimo army suffered very little losses. In addition to the chariots and horses left by the Qin people, the logistics convoys behind the coalition forces exceeded 20,000 four-wheeled carriages, more than 40,000 ox carriages, and some manpower chariots. Such a large number of baggage vehicles were obviously not something that the Qin army could destroy, not to mention that the coalition forces had already made arrangements.

The Chu army relied on supplies and horse materials, and the Qin cavalry also needed supplies and horse materials. After this day's harassment, all the Qin cavalry retreated, otherwise more than 40,000 war horses would also lack horse materials. They would retreat to a place with horse materials, and then wait for the coalition forces to enter the attack range and attack with all their strength again. However, this may be on the border of Qin and Qi. The cavalry led by Qi Jizun got up yesterday morning and followed the Qin army's supply line to the enemy for food, burning and killing the Qin army's transportation convoy west of Pingling to cut off the Qin army's supply.

Mi Xuan, who was located in the central army, was not very clear about the war behind her, but from the sunrise, she saw Qin soldiers lodging in the snow, especially the Qin army camping place last night. There were not many Qin people who died in the middle of the night. She used to think that the war was bloody, but now she realized that the war was so cold and frozen.

"Cough cough..., why don't you sleep?" Xiong Jing asked when he knew that the woman was so excited today, when he entered the tent, he saw the woman sitting on the seat in contemplation.

"I've seen the king." Mi Xuan quickly got up, helped the man change his clothes, and quickly got on the bed after washing.

Starting today, the daily march will set off at Danming, camping at dusk, that is, departure at 6 a.m. and end at 9 p.m. Including the two-quarters of the lunch time and the time to wait for the luggage convoy behind him before camping, the exact time for camping is about 10:30. After the shogunate establishment of the tent, Xiong Jing will also summarize the situation of this day with the generals, and make the deployment on the second day. It is already midnight to return the account.

The north wind was howling outside the tent, and there was a brazier inside the tent warmer. I still felt cold as soon as I got on the bed. Until now, Mi Xuan forgot to warm the bed.

"It's Xuan'er..." Mi Xuan felt that she had dereliction of duty in her bedclothes.

"If it's a warrior, you should sleep in the open. How can you get a warm tent?" Xiong Jing thought differently from a woman. The bedding was cold, but he could still bear it. "Sitting for a warm chaise, dressing and eating well, and something that corrupts people's hearts is not mentioned."

Unexpectedly, the man thought this way. Mi Xuan kissed him, thanking him and not blaming himself.

"Do you know what the military is?" Xiong Jing kissed her back. He turned his body sideways, pressing his hand under the woman and stroking her back.

"Yeah." Mi Xuan nodded. "Yes, he... Xuan'er didn't remember it all."

The man said a lot today and made her read a lot of things, but Mi Xuan felt that she was not smart enough, remembered some things, and forgot some. After establishing the account, she recalled it again and found a piece of Chu paper to record it briefly. Seeing the man asking, she got up to find the piece of Chu paper that recorded it.

After finally some warmth in the bedding was disturbed by the woman's agitation. Xiong Jing looked at the Chu paper handed to the woman and couldn't cry. He smiled and said, "I never asked you to remember, as long as you know what the military is."

"Don't remember?" Mi Xuan was surprised. She thought the man wanted to write down everything himself.

"There are always the leaders of the strategists and generals in the marching, the baggage, the array, and the battles. You don't need to be the leader of your counselors." Xiong Jing said patiently, enduring his tiredness. "You just need to know roughly and make a decision."

"Decision?" Mi Xuan recited the word.

"Yes. Decisive." Xiong Jing nodded. "The harm of using troops is the greatest hesitation. The disaster of the three armies is caused by suspicion. Although the general leads his counselors to make decisions, you have to make decisions. Even if it is a wrong decision, it is better than hesitation."

"Wrong decision?" Mi Xuan was still puzzled. As a woman, it was difficult for her to understand this.

"If you are Wang Jian, you will suddenly report that the Chu army is in the north of Linzi City in the middle of the night and are attacking your army at night. You must make a decision between fighting and leaving." Xiong Jing had no choice but to give an example and use the recent example. "The Qin people destroyed Qi and divided the troops, and saved Qi from the three kingdoms of Chu, Zhao and Wei to gather troops to divide the troops to gather troops. Although there are fewer soldiers in the coalition army than the Qin army, the best way to leave is.

However, fighting is not necessarily a bad strategy. Even if the coalition forces can defeat the Qin army, the coalition forces will suffer heavy losses. Only by not leaving or fighting and hesitating is the bad strategy. If they do not leave, the elite soldiers will not exist. Although the elite soldiers will not exist, the coalition forces will suffer countless casualties. If they do not fight or leave, the general will hesitate and the soldiers will hesitate. If the soldiers hesitate, the morale will be insufficient. When they are delayed until the end, the array may be destroyed with one blow. In this way, the elite soldiers will not exist, and the coalition forces will not suffer too many casualties, so it is the worst strategy."

"So..." Thinking of the body of the Qin soldiers who were lodging along the way, this was the price of walking, Mi Xuan felt that he could not do it.

Looking at her shaking her head slightly, Xiong Jing had to be serious: "You just need to remember: One, the soldiers are just numbers. The numbers can be lost at will, only to zero. What you have to do is to make the other party's maximum loss while the other party's loss is minimal.

2. Tell yourself..." Xiong Jing grabbed the woman's hand, pressed her hand heavily in his heart, and said, "I——, there is no mistake forever!"

"I... will never be wrong?" The woman hesitated, even more incomprehensible.

"Yes, there will never be any mistakes." Xiong Jing focused on it. "If there is any mistake, it is also the fault of his subordinates, not my fault; if there is any mistake, it is also the fault of the whole world, not my fault."

"Why..." Mi Xuan still wanted to ask, what she was thinking in her mind was, "If nothing is needed, try to correct me if there is something," and "I examine myself three times a day."

"If you are the commander and the lord, you will never be wrong. If you are a subordinate and a servant, you will always be wrong. Just remember it, don't ask why." Xiong Jing said. "You must also study hard every day in the future and don't be stunned again."

When she mentioned that she was stunned, Mi Xuan smiled embarrassedly. Thinking of the exercise in the morning, she said, "Your Majesty can teach me paper and pen, there is no need to..."

"Some things cannot be read and felt." Xiong Jing opposed her suggestion. Teaching by words and deeds is incomparable to book education. "And teaching you like this is not just for you,"

Xiong Jing said again, and when she was about to ask the reason, Xiong Jing said, "You have to teach this to your son."

"Son?" Mi Xuan immediately remembered what Xiong Jing said about restoration yesterday. Her expression suddenly stopped. Then she hugged the man tighter, groped him, bit her lip and shouted in his ear: "I want it. King, I want it..."

The coldness in the tent quickly turned into spring. However, in the Qi army tent not far from Xiong Jing's tent, General Tian Zong was still not asleep. Under his tent, the generals in the tent were even colder.

Yesterday, Xiaoqian marched to dusk, and today, the marching to dusk, so it was difficult for Qi to march at such a high intensity. ‘Spring is used to search for brigades, summer is used to search for bans, autumn is used to manage soldiers, and winter is used to hunt.’ The Qi army still governs the army according to ancient laws. In winter, it is mainly a large reading. After the large reading, it should have hunted, and there is no choice to get animals. However, the population has multiplied, and there is no forest in Qi that can allow hundreds of thousands of people to hunt at the same time. The army of each capital dispersed after the large reading.

Inadequate training is a major reason, and most of the time it is insufficient equipment. Most of the soldiers of the Qi army are poor, few have robes, and some sheepdog fur are also worn and unwoven furs that have not been tanned, which produces a foul smell. Most people wear a large brown coat, and at most two short brown coats inside, and there is nothing inside.

There were no exquisite leather boots like the Chu army, Zhao army, and Wei army. Some soldiers with cloth shoes also wore straw shoes. Cloth shoes were impatient and expensive. They only wore dozens of dollars a pair when reading. The straw shoes could be fought by themselves, so they wore them when marching. They were not as thick-foot clothes as the Chu army, all barefoot. In this way, walking more than 130 miles a day, many soldiers had frostbite on their feet.

The matter was not mentioned during the military discussion just now. Now the Qi army has had a private meeting, and each army quickly reported the number of casualties. The reduction of personnel is very serious, and all the numbers add up to more than 10%. You should know that this is chasing, driving the Qin people to run away, and the morale of each army is very strong.

"If this happens, our army will have a maximum of 200,000 people in three days." The charcoal fire in the brazier blew from time to time, and it was as quiet as a piece of ice pressing on the hearts of the generals. Military advisor Mou Zong spoke, and his judgment was objective and cold.

There are also numbers under self-heating rations. The soldiers cannot have hot water for washing every day like using the rate, warm bedding, and hot braziers. They lie in the small black curtain at night, and the five people squeeze together to keep each other warm with their body temperature.

In cold weather, hot food for three meals a day is almost life-saving. If there is a copper pot like Chu Jun when it is hot, the copper pot can also be placed on the food rations. It is okay if there is no copper pot. Dig a small soil pit, put five portions of food rations and sprinkle with an appropriate amount of ice and snow. The soldiers sit around and sit around. After the water is hot, they can burn their feet. The water is very dirty, but the water is hot. The feet are the most tired of marching for the day. After scalding, they will quickly sleep.

"The most injured are the most injured. If our army also has leather boots like the Chu army..." Tian Gu talked about leather boots. Xiong Jing took Mi Xuan to patrol the Qi army, and he secretly went to see the Chu army. What impressed him the most was leather boots. The high-tube leather boots stepped on the ice and snow, and the "click" sound sounded deafening, completely different from the Qi army.

"The Chu army's leather boots are produced in our Qi State." Shi Yi reminded. He also knew where this kind of leather boots were made. "Bochang and other cities made boots are made, and the ox leather made from Yandi is transported. It is said that more than 200,000 pairs of boots are made a year."

"One pair a year?" The generals who heard it for the first time were surprised.

"No, two pairs a year." Mou Zong knew more clearly. After all, he marched with Xiong Jing. "One pair was purchased in Xizhou, and the sea boat was transported to Chu State. Bochang's boots were imitating Xizhou." He immediately corrected the topic and said, "Three days later, our army had only 200,000 people left, and it was already in Fanyi, Dongjun at that time."

Judging from the shogunate strategists, yesterday the Qin army stayed in Pingling, and the coalition forces stayed in Yuling; today the Qin army stayed in Lixia, and the coalition forces stayed in Baoyi; tomorrow the Qin army stayed in Luyi, and the coalition forces stayed in Qingyi. Later, the two armies arrived at the border, and the Qin army stayed in Xueling, and the coalition forces stayed in Guyi. One day after another, the Qin army stayed in Fanyi (now Fanxian), and the coalition forces stayed in Fanyi; then the Qin army stayed in Puyang, and the coalition forces reached their limits and could not seize grain, fodder, dry firewood, and they could only withdraw their troops.

"The military advisor means that our army should stop at Guyi?" Tian Gu asked. "Don't you go deep into Qin?"

"I mean, the Chu army must go deep into Qin territory, but what about our army?" Mou Zong shook his head. Of course, he also wanted to wipe out Wang Jian completely, but the Qi army lost its troops seriously, and this idea might be vain. Moreover, the military power is different. The Qi army has the Qi army's considerations, and the Chu army has the Chu army's considerations. After arriving in Guyi the day after tomorrow, the Qi army would probably have more than 200,000 yuan. At this time, the soldiers were tired and there was no motivation to chase them.

"The Chu people drove them into Qin territory, so they borrowed our army to destroy Qin, and the Zhao people restored the country." Tian Luo said. "If Qin State is destroyed, Qi State will be in danger."

Checks and balances between countries, especially between Qin and Chu, are most beneficial to Qi. This is also the reason why the officials of the court wander left and right and flee to Chu. The Chu people are indeed better than the Qin people, but if the world is all over Chu, it will not be much better to Qi.

"If Wang Jian's army is not destroyed, and if he attacks me again in the future, Qi will be destroyed." Mou Zong no longer advised him on this matter, and he had no expression.

"After this battle, the Chu army will surely attack Qin, so why should the Qin people attack me again?" Tian Luo looked at Mou Zong and felt that he had really been bribed by the Chu people, and he had ulterior motives. "Last autumn and winter, the Chu army was attacking Hanzhong. Only by eliminating Hanzhong can we obtain Bashu; only by obtaining Bashu can we ensure Ying. The Qin people attacked me, so I took advantage of my unpreparedness. Now that I am prepared, the Chu army attacked Qin again, so why should Qin attack me again?"

"I heard that the military advisor received huge gold from the Chu people." The insidious voice was a complete heart-killing statement.

"Haha...haha..." Mou Zong was surprised at first, looked around the generals and laughed. After laughing, he said, "Mu Zong entered Chu and returned to Qi. Where is the huge gold in the Chu people? And I beg for the Chu people, when I give the Chu people huge gold, why did the Chu people bribe me huge gold?"
