Ruyin.
The shogunate of the Chu army.
"General, the scouts have sent word that King Qin has gone south to supervise the army and has arrived in Anling!" Xiang Liang walked into the shogunate and said to Xiang Yan.
"Keep an eye on it!"
Xiang Yan's face was ugly, and his plan was underway.
At this time, King Qin's political move south will not help his plan at all. On the contrary, there will be many variables.
"Why do you think Qin Wangzheng is so anxious about going south this time?"
Xiang Yan looked at Xiang Liang and said with a faint tone: "If we follow the past practice, even if the King of Qin personally comes to the front line to supervise the troops, he will not do it at this time!"
"Now the Qin people have the advantage!"
"In the past, the Qin army was always in bitter battles. At critical moments, the King of Qin would go to the front line to boost the morale of the army with the dignity of the King of Qin."
As thoughts swirled in his mind, a glint appeared in Xiang Liang's eyes and he said: "The general's analysis is good. This time, there is indeed something fishy about King Qin's political move south."
"With the Qin people's national strength, it is absolutely impossible for them to put pressure on grain and grass within half a year."
"Even in the Changping Battle that year, it was only three years after the confrontation between Qin and Zhao that the food and grass problem arose!"
"Similarly, based on our understanding of Qin Wangzheng and the prestige that Qin Wangzheng has gained in the hearts of Qin people over the years, there is no need to fear Wang Jian at all!"
"Wang Jian is not Bai Qi!"
"Qin Wangzheng is not King Qin Zhaoxiang!"
"Um!"
Nodding, Xiang Yan turned to Xiang Liang and said, "Find out this matter!"
"promise."
Xiang Yan knew in his heart that even though Wang Jian destroyed countless countries, his prestige among the Qin army was simply not as good as that of Wu'an Jun Bai Qi, who was at the height of his power and overshadowed all the other countries in Shandong.
That one is really radiant.
It was also in his hands that the Qin army became invincible.
The first name in the world!
And the prestige of King Zhaoxiang in the hearts of Qin people was far inferior to that of King Qin Zheng.
Personal means are also slightly inferior.
At this time, Qin Wangzheng suddenly went south, which made Xiang Yan somewhat confused, and he decided to speed up the implementation of the plan.
"Xiang Han, you personally lead an army of 100,000 to Huainan!"
"This large army is nominally led by Xiang Bo, but you must firmly hold the military power."
"promise!"
Watching Xiang Han leave, a solemn look appeared in Xiang Yan's eyes.
He knew in his heart that in order to make the King of Chu feel at ease, the tribal army was commanded by Jing Qi.
In this way, Xiang Han took away 100,000 elites, and the actual army in his hands was only 200,000.
Xiang Yan knew that the Chu king came to power through mutiny.
Such a king will never be captured without mercy.
It was inevitable for a civil strife to break out in Chu Capital.
"Master, everything is quiet in Jiangdong. The young master and the young master are safe and sound." A confidant walked into the shogunate and said to Xiang Yan: "My subordinates have passed the news to the young master. Once something goes wrong, the young master will use his private Fight to protect yourself!"
"As long as nothing happens to the general and General Xiang Bo, unless the king is crazy, he will not take action against the young master and others!"
Hearing this, Xiang Yan looked solemn and said, "Just in case, the dog will jump over the wall if it gets anxious!"
"What's more, a King of Chu!"
At this point, Xiang Yan changed the topic and said: "You take Young Master Mi Qi to Huainan secretly and wait for my military order!"
"promise."
Military orders were issued one after another, and Xiang Yan accelerated the implementation of the plan.
Even though Qin Wangzheng was in Anling, he still affected the war situation. Wang Jian and Zhao Shu were the least affected, but Xiang Yan was indeed the most affected.
This is the terrifying influence of the current King of Qin.
Even if it is just a name, it still has the power to change the situation.
...
"Sir, the general has an order for you to set off immediately with your subordinates and rush to Huainan secretly!" Chu Ci saluted Mi Qi and said.
Hearing this, a strange color appeared in Mi Qi's eyes. He naturally learned the news about King Qin's political move south.
The moment she got the news, Mi Qi was frightened.
However, he came to his senses in an instant.
Mi Qi knew that King Qin's political move south had little to do with him.
He would never go south for him at this time.
Although Mi Qi was arrogant, he knew that in the eyes of Qin Wangzheng, that was just what he was.
It's not worth Qin Wangzheng's fight for him!
With lightning flashing in his mind, Mi Qi nodded and said, "Okay!"
"Sir, wait a moment, I'll pack some gifts!"
"promise."
.........
So, Mi Qi and Chu Ci left Ruyin at night without disturbing anyone.
Qixian.
In the valley, Yinwei came in a hurry and said to Zhao Shu: "Master, our people have received news that Lord Changping is being guarded by Xiang Yan's secret power and is heading to Huainan!"
"One day later, we will arrive at the outskirts of Qixian County, and then cross the Huaihe River and head south!"
"Should we intercept or kill?"
To the Qin Dynasty, Mi Qi, Lord of Changping, was a traitor.
Therefore, the people in the Qin Dynasty were more determined to kill Lord Changping than King Chu of Chu.
Hearing this, Zhao Shu shook his head: "No, let them pass!"
"Once we kill Lord Changping, Xiang Yan will definitely notice it immediately, thus defeating the general's plan!"
"Our target is Xiang Yan and the hundreds of thousands of Chu troops in Huaibei!"
"As long as we kill Xiang Yan, the elite of Chu State today, even if Lord Changping arrives in the capital of Chu safely, it will only be delayed for some time for his life as a prisoner!"
"Now that the king is going south to supervise the army, we must be absolutely sure!"
"promise."
Taking a sip of herbal tea, Zhao Shu turned to Yinwei and said, "Inform Zhang Cang and ask him to prepare supplies for the army for the winter. The battle to destroy Chu will never end this winter!"
"promise."
The weather is getting colder.
Zhao Shu knew in his heart that the current coldness would not have much impact on the old Qin people in the northwest.
However, once winter enters a large area of Chu land, even the Chu people will not be able to bear the coldness in the south, let alone the elites of the Qin Dynasty.
Winter in the south and winter in the northwest are two different concepts.
Although they are both cold, the kind of cold is completely different.
General Wang Jian was also aware of this problem, which was why Wang Jian wanted to fight Xiang Yan within one month.
Once this month is over, the two armies will have no choice but to call a truce due to the cold in the Chu region.
Otherwise, countless soldiers in the army will suffer from frostbite.
Qin had the advantage, so Wang Jian never thought of fighting in the cold winter in order to destroy Chu in one battle.
However, Zhao Shu has thought about this issue.
Contrary to General Wang Jian, he believed that it was not impossible to send troops in the cold winter.
Of course, the decision-making power does not lie with them, but with Xiang Yan.
Because Xiang Yan has been in Huaibei, they can survive the cold winter safely and then destroy Chu.
But if Xiang Yan is in a hurry to go to Huainan, once the war starts, it will be impossible to stop.
Even in the twelfth lunar month of winter, Chu must be destroyed in one fell swoop.
