"Haha, Xiang Yan will agree!"
A flash of pride flashed across Chu Wang's eyes: "Because I plan to let Xiang Bo command this army!"
"Xiang Yan doesn't trust me, so how can he not trust Xiang Bo?"
"If Xiang Yan wanted to withdraw from Huainan and had other intentions in his heart, he would not refuse."
Having said this, the King of Chu held his cud in his arms and said, "Keep an eye on Uncle Xiang!"
"Conscription must be done as soon as possible!"
"Our life and death cannot depend on the mercy of others!"
"promise."
The king of Chu made a plan.
At the same time, the special envoy of King Chu also rushed to the army.
"General, after deliberation, the king has decided that with the general's wishes, our army will withdraw to Huainan and plan to resist Qin for a long time!"
Zhaozhang saluted Xiang Yan and said: "The king ordered that the deputy general Jing Qi be in charge of the 200,000 tribal army and stay in Huaibei to cut off the rear!"
"At the same time, a hundred thousand troops will be mobilized from the elites of the national government and headed to Huainan to make arrangements for the withdrawal!"
Having said this, Zhaozhang said in a serious tone: "General, your Majesty wants to use General Xiang Bo as the commander of this large army to clear the way for the general to retreat!"
"King Shang Qiangang was arbitrary and decided to withdraw his troops. The senior ministers were dissatisfied..."
"good!"
Xiang Yan glanced at Zhao Zhang, chuckled, and said, "I am following your orders!"
"The special envoy will go down and rest first!"
"As soon as I finish arranging the arrangements, let the soldiers set off!"
"good!"
Nodding, Zhaozhang said goodbye and left.
Watching Zhaozhang leave, Xiang Yan's eyes flashed with light: "What do you think the king is going to do?"
"General, the king is feeling the pressure!"
Xiang Liang looked solemnly and said to Xiang Yan: "The whole country's army is in the hands of the general. If the general is in Huaibei, the king will naturally not worry."
"But now, the general intends to withdraw his troops from Huainan!"
"When the time comes, hundreds of thousands of troops will be in the hands of the general, and the capital will be in Huainan. When the time comes, will the general be respected, or will the king's orders prevail?"
"Of course, what the special envoy said is true!"
"The whole country, including the king, is unwilling for the general to withdraw from Huainan!"
"Now that our army is defeated, the king feels the pressure and decides to withdraw his troops from Huainan and fight to the death with the Qin people!"
"In this case, the king will inevitably conflict with the senior ministers!"
"This 100,000-strong army is designed to protect not only the generals, but also the senior ministers!"
"As for Xiang Bo staying in the capital, the same is true!"
Hearing this, Xiang Yan smiled, nodded, and said: "Our king has never lacked intelligence, but he lacks some courage!"
"If there is no crisis of destroying the country, being a king will be more than enough!"
"Write to Uncle Xiang and your eldest brother!"
"After getting the news, we will divide our troops!"
"promise."
Nodding in agreement, Xiang Liang turned and left.
Since his father wanted to take risks, he could only accompany him.
Because he can't choose!
Xiang Yan is now the head of the Xiang family and the pillar of the Xiang family.
Once Xiang Yan makes a decision, it represents a choice made by the entire Xiang family.
........
Watching Xiang Liang leave, a look of solemnity flashed deep in Xiang Yan's eyes: "Your Majesty, you underestimate me too much!"
"A hundred thousand troops, I'm afraid they can't stop me!"
........
Xianyang.
In Zhangtai Palace.
"Your Majesty, there is news from Black Ice Platform that the general and Gongzi Shu are on the front line in Ruyin, confronting Xiang Yan!"
A look of solemnity appeared in Zhao Gao's eyes, and he turned to Qin Wangzheng and said: "Our army has invested 600,000 troops in this battle, and the same Chu army has also reached 600,000 troops."
"Our army fought against the Chu army for the first time, and we won a great victory!"
"Gongzi Shu leads the army to conquer Pingyu!"
Zhao Gao read out one after another, and Qin Wangzheng, Li Si, Wei Liao, Wang Wan and others listened attentively.
When Zhao Gao's voice fell and a long time passed, Qin Wangzheng finally spoke and said, "What do you dear friends think about the war ahead?"
"The war is beneficial to my country, Great Qin!"
At this moment, Prime Minister Wang Wan was the first to speak: "Although the Chu State has 600,000 people, the real elite will not exceed 400,000!"
"Based on the conditions of Chu State, even if Xiang Yan is a famous general, he cannot control this 600,000-strong army!"
"It's just that, Your Majesty, such a confrontation will consume a lot of food and grass. This will be a great test for the Qin Dynasty and the official office of governing Su Nei!"
"Your Majesty, what the Prime Minister said is absolutely true!"
At this time, Li Si also spoke and said: "I thought that the king should imitate King Zhaoxiang and go south to Anling to secure the rear and boost the morale of the army!"
"I, the great warriors of Great Qin, have been victorious in successive battles. If we hold on like this, there will be resentment in the army!"
"Um!"
Nodding, Qin Wangzheng looked at Wei Liao and said, "What do you think, Guo Wei?"
Hearing this, Wei Liao pondered and said, "Your Majesty, the army's battle is going smoothly, as expected!"
"Before the general and Young Master Shu went south, they had already concluded that this battle would be a protracted one. The imperial court's expectation for the battle to destroy Chu is within three years!"
"Now that the general and the young master Shu will go south, it will only last three months!"
“It’s only four months until the army is assembled!”
"Now that our army has occupied the northern part of Chendi, Chenjun has almost become worthy of its name. Now Gongzishu has conquered Pingyu, which can be said to be a victory!"
"At this time, the king goes south to Anling. Although it will have an effect, it won't be too big!"
"We, the Qin Dynasty, are short of officials now, not food, grass and weapons."
"I have communicated with Zhisu Neishi and the Shaofu. Da Qin's preparations for the battle to destroy Chu are undoubtedly the most complete and comprehensive."
"This is also the most violent war since the Qin Dynasty destroyed the country."
"The battlefield medical workshop, with the establishment of military doctors, the mobilization of food, grass and soldiers, and the stable arrangement of the rear, we did not hesitate to uproot the entire Chu clan."
Having said this, Wei Liao turned to Qin Wangzheng and said, "However, every time there is a war, it is our great Qin tradition that the King of Qin personally goes to the front lines to supervise the troops!"
"I think that even if the king goes there, he will have to make arrangements for Xianyang."
"Once the great battle begins, Chu will definitely need a large number of officials. I think we should reserve them in advance and then send them to Chen."
"Um!"
Nodding, Qin Wangzheng said in a deep voice: "What the three beloved ministers said is reasonable!"
"I am determined to go south to Anling to supervise the army!"
"I want the elites of Great Qin to know that I am with them!"
"At the same time, Left Prime Minister Wang Wan is sitting in Xianyang to coordinate government affairs!"
"The officials of Great Qin's reserve will go south to Chen County in batches. Once the warriors of Great Qin conquer a place, I, the officials of Great Qin, must take over the place."
"Otherwise, it will only create chaos!"
At this point, Qin Wangzheng changed his subject and said: "When necessary, officials can be mobilized from Han, Zhao, Wei, and Yan to go south."
"In short, what I want is a complete Chu Di, not a chaotic Chu Di!"
