protracted war!
This is the only way to defeat the strong with the weak and drag the enemy to death with huge depth.
However, Xiang Yan is not the one, and it is almost impossible to completely complete the protracted war.
Unless, Xiang Yan is the king of Chu, or the king of Chu and Xiang Yan are of the same mind.
"My lord Zhang Cang, my lord Jiang Xin, pay my respects to the young master!" At this time, Zhang Cang and Jiang Xin arrived and saluted Zhao Shu.
"You two don't need to be polite."
Zhao Shu waved his hand and said to Zhang Cang: "Xiang Yan is retreating to the north bank of Huai River. By then, the entire Chen County will belong to our Great Qin."
"I will lead my troops to occupy cities in various places, and the governor of Chen County will also play a role."
"Chen Di is the foundation for our great Qin to destroy Chu. We must ensure the stability of Chen Di."
"The county governor's office began to issue decrees and organize officials from all over the country. Once our army takes the city, they will immediately put up a list to calm the people, sort out the yellow rolls and count the population, and strive to resume business travel and farming as soon as possible."
"I will cooperate with the two of you to eradicate all uneasy elements. At the same time, I will leave the power of the Hidden Palace to be mobilized by the county guard."
"Once an accident occurs, we will immediately send a large army to attack to ensure the stability of Chen County."
"A hundred thousand troops are stationed in Chendi, and they must ensure the safety of Chendi, the smooth supply of food routes, and the smooth flow of rescue."
"promise."
Nodding in agreement, Zhang Cang's face was full of solemnity. He naturally knew how difficult it was to achieve this.
However, Zhao Shu left him with enough information and he wanted to give it a try.
At this moment, Zhang Cang's heart was filled with excitement.
"Jiang Xin, serves as the county magistrate of Chendi and cooperates with the county governor's arrangements."
"At the same time, General Ma Xing also served as the county lieutenant, commanding an army of 100,000 people, and was stationed in Chendi to ensure the smooth flow of food routes."
"promise."
At the same time, Ma Xing and Jiang Xin nodded in agreement at the same time, their eyes full of excitement and solemnity.
They all realize their own importance.
"Li Xin, lead the army to take over Chendi City."
"promise."
"Yinwei, you and Li Xin will provide intelligence support."
"promise."
With the order, everyone took action, and only Fan Zeng, Zhao Shu and others were left in the shogunate, as well as the 100,000 troops stationed here.
"Major General, where do you think Xiang Yan and the General will fight in this battle?"
Hearing this, Wang Ben groaned deeply and said, "You Yin!"
"The Chu people are impatient. Ruyin is the limit of Xiang Yan's retreat to the south."
"General, the king has given me a royal sword to command the elite men of Qin. The command is unified. No one can hinder the general's order."
"But Xiang Yan is different. Although he is also a good general, there are many constraints in the Chu army."
........
"Um!"
At this moment, Zhao Shu also nodded.
Wang Ben's judgment was consistent with his. Ruyin was Xiang Yan's limit. At this time, Zhao Shu changed the subject and said.
"I heard that General Zhao Tuo, who is under the command of the Major General, is from Yue. He has some knowledge of the lands of Yue."
"Would you like to lend it to me?"
Hearing this, Wang Ben chuckled and said: "Although Zhao Tuo is a subordinate of the last general, he is the king's general. Now the young master is the general of the army."
"No need to ask for a loan, just call it directly!"
"Ha ha......"
With a chuckle, Zhao Shu turned to Wang Ben and said, "I'm busy now and don't have time to see him. Please tell Zhao Tuo."
"I need detailed information about Moroetsu."
"promise."
Although Zhao Shu looked down on Zhao Tuo, he would not use it. Zhao Tuo played a great role in the war to destroy Zhuyue.
Of course he wanted to take advantage of it.
.........
Seven days later.
"Sir, our army has fully recovered the Chen land. The county magistrate, Jiang Xin, has taken over, and the county guard is also pacifying the people."
"General Ma Xing sent troops to various places. He left 70,000 troops at the administrative center and dispersed 30,000 Qin warriors to various places."
Li Xin walked into the shogunate and said to Zhao Shu, "General, we have also arrived at Rushui River Valley."
Hearing this, Zhao Shu nodded and gave a decisive order, saying: "Send the order and our army will set off immediately. In three days, we must arrive at the Rushui River Valley and meet up with the general."
"promise."
The army set out. Three days later, at sunset, Zhao Shu led the army to join Wang Jian.
"The last general has met the superior general!" Zhao Shu saluted Wang Jian as he walked into the shogunate.
"Sir, how are you doing with Chen County?" Wang Jian nodded and then said to Zhao Shu.
"General, Chen Di has been fully controlled. Ma Xing has dispersed 30,000 Qin warriors to guard various places."
"With an army of 70,000, we are guarding the administrative center. Now, Zhang Cang, Jiang Xin, and Ma Xing are restoring people's livelihood."
"Um!"
At this moment, Wang Jian nodded, and then turned to Zhao Shu and said, "Sir, the three cities occupied by the Chu army echo each other from the northwest to the southeast."
"Xiang Yan seems to have put a lot of effort into this move. He plans to fight with our great Qin warriors here."
"The Chu troops in Pingyu and Xicheng are private soldiers of the old aristocratic families of Chu State."
At this moment, the bronze sword in Wang Jian's hand fell on Ru Yin.
"Only where Ru Yin is, is where Xiang Yan is!"
At this moment, there was silence in the shogunate. They all knew that the army led by Xiang Yan was the real main force of the Chu army.
Taking a sip of herbal tea, Zhao Shu looked at the map and said, "Pingyu, Bucheng, and Ruyin are only a hundred miles apart, and the cities are only thirty miles apart. The cavalry will arrive in half an hour, and the infantry will not have to march in a hurry." It will take more than an hour.”
"In this way, the Chu army seems to have three battalions, but in fact it is just one battalion."
"Our army only needs to attack a key place and attract armies from both places to come for reinforcements, and then we can swallow up Xiang Yan's troops in one go!"
"General, our army should attack the sleeping city in the middle of the three places!"
At this moment, Yang Duanhe spoke.
In his opinion, if he attacks the sleeping city, he can defeat it in one battle.
"The sleeping city seems to be in the middle of the three places, but it is not the axis of the Chu army."
At the same time, Wang Jian pointed to the map and said: "As the master said, where Xiang Yan in Ruyin is, the main force of the Chu army is located."
"The biggest reason why our army is facing Xiang Yan head-on is that we cannot allow this main force to retreat to Huainan again!"
"If Xiang Yan withdraws his troops from Huainan, it will be even harder to destroy Chu!"
Hearing this, Xin Sheng suddenly opened his mouth and said to Wang Jian: "The general wants our army to fight Xiang Yan as soon as possible?
"no."
Wang Jian shook his head: "The whole court of the Chu Kingdom wants a quick victory. How can I let the King of Chu get his wish?"
"In this battle, our army will avoid its edge and attack at the right time!"
"It rains a lot in Chu. The turn of spring and summer is the rainy season. Now, Xiang Yan has given up the trade route in Chen and the granary in Huaibei."
"Once the heavy rain comes and there is chaos in the Chu army's food road, then the Chu army will be panic-stricken. It will be a great opportunity for our army to attack!"
Wang Jian's words caused the shogunate to fall into silence once again.
Great Qin's warriors have become accustomed to winning battles over the years. Except for the battle to destroy Zhao, it has never been so protracted.
This made the generals in the army a little upset.
