Wang Jian gave the order, and all the troops were dispatched one after another. Zhao Shu hurried back to Pingyu and informed Wang Bi of the news.
"The general has met the young master!"
Seeing Zhao Shu rushing back, Wang Ben and Zhao Tuo quickly saluted and said.
Hearing this, Zhao Shu smiled and said: "Young General, Pingyu has left ten thousand troops to guard, and Zhao Tuo will be in charge."
"The general's military order is that you will lead an army of one hundred thousand. Once the order is issued, we will immediately send troops from Pingyu to attack Ruyin."
"Strive to kill all Xiang Yan's troops in Ruyin."
"Then, this young master will lead the rest of the army, which will serve another great purpose!"
"promise."
With an order, Zhao Shu led the army and left Pingyu: "Yinwei, send an order to Li Xin to rush to Qixian immediately to join our army."
"promise."
Zhao Shu knew in his heart that this army only numbered 90,000 people, which meant that he had to wait for work.
Otherwise, with the sharpness of Xiang Yan's troops, even if they were able to block Xiang Yan from crossing the river, the warriors of Great Qin would surely suffer heavy losses.
As the commander-in-chief of the Great Qin Warriors, Zhao Shu naturally wanted to achieve the greatest results while preserving the Great Qin Warriors and reducing casualties.
The army went out at night and hid in the day. Zhao Shu recalled the map of Chu land in his mind, with a solemn look in his eyes.
He knew in his heart that if Xiang Yan wanted to cross the Huai River from Huaibei and enter Huainan, he could only retreat to Qixian.
Although you can cross the Huai River from Ruyin to the south and enter Huainan from Huaibei, these places all belong to Da Qin.
With a flash of lightning in his mind, Zhao Shu also understood Xiang Yan's plan. He was in Huaibei and had no intention of dealing with the situation in Huainan.
But if the army arrives in Huainan, the strategy he wants to implement will become a reality.
Now that the Chu army is in his hands, it is easy to depose the King of Chu.
Half a month later, Zhao Shu finally led his army to the countryside of Qixian secretly and hid in a valley.
In the shogunate.
Fan Zeng frowned and said, "Sir, with the strength of the Xiang family, even fleeing to Huainan will not help."
"snort!"
With a cold snort, Zhao Ci said with a faint tone, "Except that Huaibei is no longer suitable for a long-term confrontation with our army."
"What Xiang Yan wants to do most is to send troops to Huainan, control the Chu court, and implement his strategy."
"Has the news spread?"
Hearing this, Fan Zeng spoke quickly and said: "Please rest assured, young master, all the news has been transmitted to Chudu."
"Now we just need to wait for the general's order."
After hearing Fan Zeng's words, Zhao Shu pondered for a long time and said to Fan Zeng: "Let the twelve merchants keep an eye on Chu Du's reaction and Mi Qi's movements."
"When necessary, use the secret agents of the Hidden Palace, the Black Ice Platform and the Twelve Shang to ambush Mi Qi!"
"The demise of the Chu Kingdom is an inevitable trend. Does the young master pay too much attention to Mi Qi?" Fan Zeng was a little confused and couldn't help but look at Zhao Shu.
Hearing this, Zhao Shu said in a deep voice, "Don't underestimate Lord Changping. This man is ten times more talented than the current King of Chu, Fu Chu."
"If Mi Qi becomes the king of Chu and Xiang Yan is the general, the Qin Dynasty's destruction of Chu will be delayed for several years again."
"A protracted war is a terrible test for a country. Even with Da Qin's background, it won't last long."
"promise."
Nodding in agreement, Fan Zeng also took it seriously. He knew in his heart that even Zhao Shu valued Lord Changping, which was enough to prove how terrifying Lord Changping was.
From the time he met Zhao Shu, Zhao Shu generally had nothing to fear except the government of King Qin.
Three days later, Li Xin secretly entered the shogunate.
"Young Master, I will hand over all of my troops to Zhang Han!"
Li Xin looked at Zhao Shu and said, "Master, don't you have a share in this great battle?"
"Yes, I have!"
Zhao Shu pointed at the map, motioned for Li Xin to come closer, and then chuckled and said: "This is the outskirts of Qixian County, which is where we came from, Daze Township, and this is Shouchun."
"Once the war breaks out, I will lead an army of 50,000 to stop Xiang Yan from crossing the Huaihe River. At the same time, you will lead an army of 40,000 to quickly move eastward and capture the East China Sea."
Hearing this, Li Xin was stunned for a moment, then turned to Zhao Shu and said, "Do you still think you will let your general go south to attack the capital of Chu?"
"What are you thinking about!"
Zhao Shu rolled his eyes at Li Xin, pointed at the Chu capital, and said: "Here is General Meng Tian, and the King of Chu is already a caged bird."
"You take the land of the East China Sea and quickly go south to the land of Kuaiji!"
"When the time comes, I will join General Meng Tian after blocking Xiang Yan, and then lead the army to gradually occupy Chu."
"promise."
Nodding in agreement, Li Xin's eyes flashed with light, and he turned towards Zhao Shu and said, "Sir, not far from Kuaiji is the land of Dongyue."
"Yes or no......."
"There's no rush. We'll wait until the general arrives and our army completely annihilates the Chu Kingdom before we make any plans."
"The battle to destroy Zhuyue should be fought after the destruction of Chu!"
"promise."
.........
At the same time, a look of solemnity appeared in Xiang Yan's eyes. His patience with King Chu Chu and the senior ministers in the capital of Chu had reached its limit.
He wants to save Chu State!
"General, do our troops have to retreat to Huainan?" Xiang Liang did not support Xiang Yan's plan.
He knew in his heart that the current state of Chu could not be in chaos. Once Wang Jian seized the opportunity, the state of Chu would have no room to resist.
This time, the Qin Dynasty went south with the strength of the whole country, and the generals were accompanying them. It was impossible not to discover their plan.
"If our army wants to resist Qin for a long time, it must retreat. You also know that that is a sharp soldier of the Qin Dynasty. That is General Wang Jian, a famous general in the world!"
"If we are in Huaibei and our army is dead, Wang Jian will not let us go!"
In Xiang Yan's view, in addition to using Huainan as the basis for resisting Qin, only if he retreats from Huainan can the plans in his mind about reversing the court's decision-making be implemented.
Otherwise, when others are in Huaibei, they will inevitably be beyond their reach to do things.
If they let the endless constraints of those old noble families and senior ministers go unchecked, they would have no hope of victory at all.
They can only die in Huaibei!
"General, doing this is simply taking a desperate risk!"
Xiang Liang frowned and said word by word to Xiang Yan: "The people of Qin are watching with eager eyes. Wang Jian is waiting for the opportunity to destroy Chu in one battle!"
"At this time, the general launching a mutiny will only make Chu's situation worse."
"Without King Chu of Chu who can still stabilize the situation of the court, several major families will fall apart immediately. When the time comes, Chu will only be in more chaos!"
"The general does not think that Mi Qi can control the Chu court in a short period of time. He may be talented, but he has no foundation in Chu!"
"At that time, even if the general succeeds, how much better can a King of Chu who cannot control the old family and control the court be compared to the current king?"
