"General, the Qin army has already made a plan. I'm afraid Ruyin won't be able to hold on for long!"
Xiang Liang frowned and turned to Xiang Yan and said, "The scouts have sent word that Wang Jian's army has moved together. The city has been captured by the Qin army, and now the Qin army is attacking Ruyin!"
"With Wang Jian as the commander-in-chief, Jing Qi may not be able to hold on for long!"
"Jing Qi's army is for the queen to use!"
At this moment, Xiang Yan was extremely cold: "I only hoped to hide it from Wang Jian, but I never really thought that I would hide it from Wang Jian!"
"Who do you think Wang Jian is?"
"That is the number one general in the Qin Dynasty who is invincible and invincible in all attacks, and also the number one general in the Central Plains!"
"Jingqi is the price for our army's retreat!"
At this point, Xiang Yan said in a cold voice: "Send the order and speed up to the outskirts of Qi County. At the same time, order the magistrate of Qi County to clarify all pass and ship issues!"
"promise!"
Nodding in agreement, Xiang Liang turned his head and glanced in the direction of Huaibei, then gritted his teeth and turned to leave.
From Xiang Yan, he learned one thing, that is, he is ruthless.
As the commander-in-chief of an army, he can decide the lives and deaths of hundreds of thousands of people with a single word, so he cannot be merciful.
Xiang Yan led his army to Qixian County.
At the same time, General Wang Jian also led the shogunate army to advance towards Huainan.
However, he did not choose the direction of Qixian. Instead, he chose to go from the north to the south of Ruyin, pass through Shendi, and then go straight to Yingshou.
Together with Meng Tian's army dormant in Xia Cai, they surrounded Ying Shou and defeated Chu King Fu Chu and others in one fell swoop.
Qixian Valley.
"Sir, the general's military order!"
Fan Zeng frowned and turned to Zhao Shu, saying: "There is news from the Black Ice Platform that Xiang Yan has retreated. Our army has already clashed with the Chu army!"
"The general has an order: Let the young master speed up the construction of defense fortifications in Qixian County and make every effort to intercept Xiang Yan's main force!"
In the shogunate, Zhao Shu looked solemn, looking at the huge map, with a hint of solemnity in his eyes: "Hidden Palace Dark Veins, Twelve Shang, Black Ice Platform, all scouts in the army are scattered!"
"I will know everything about Xiang Yan's whereabouts!"
"promise!"
At this moment, Li Xin spoke and said, "Sir, this battle will be difficult!"
"According to the information from Heibingtai and the Twelve Shang in the Hidden Palace, the Chu troops retreating this time are not only the 200,000 elite Chu troops under Xiang Yan's command, but also the 100,000 tribal troops!"
"Our army only has 100,000 troops!"
Zhao Shu kept his eyes on the map. Hearing Li Xin's words, he nodded and said: "The three hundred thousand Chu army is not just our army. All we have to do is cooperate with the general's decision-making!"
"However, a head-on fight to the death is not the first choice!"
"The Chu army is eager to retreat south. Once it is blocked, it will definitely counterattack wildly!"
"Even if we win in the end, our army will suffer heavy casualties!"
At this moment, Zhao Shu drew his sword and landed on the map: "Haixia!"
"If Xiang Yan's troops want to cross the Huai River and enter Huainan, the only option is to cross the Huai River through Qixian County!"
"Li Xin!"
"The general is here!"
Looking at Li Si, Zhao Shu lowered the tip of his sword and said in a solemn tone: "You will lead an army of thirty thousand to the north of Qi County. Do not make direct contact with Xiang Yan's army!"
"Whether it's a bluff or a surprise attack, we can't let Xiang Yan go straight south to Yingshou!"
"I led an army of 50,000 to confront Xiang Yan. At the same time, Jiang Xian led an army of 20,000 to ambush the east of Daze Township. The three armies joined forces to force Xiang Yan's army and the 100,000 tribal army led by Zhao Tuo to retreat from Haixia. !”
At this point, Zhao Shi's tone became solemn: "At the same time, I sent an order to Old General Meng Wu to lead his army and rush to take action."
"Order General Meng Tian to divide 50,000 troops, cross the Huaihe River as quickly as possible, and secretly advance to the north of Zhongli!"
"Once this general forces Xiang Yan's troops into Haixia, all armies will mobilize to surround and kill Xiang Yan under Haixia!"
"At the same time, Yinwei immediately contacted Hei Bingtai and sent a copy of the battle plan to General Wang Jian, Your Majesty, Meng Wu, and Meng Tian's ministries!"
"Let them fully cooperate with our army!"
"promise!"
Nodding in agreement, the generals left quickly.
Facing 300,000 Chu troops, led by a famous general like Xiang Yan, the generals felt somewhat stressed.
Watching the generals leave, Zhao Shu gave the order decisively, saying: "Sir, set off a dispute between Yingshou, King Fuchu of Chu, and the Xiang family of Jiangdong!"
"Twelve merchants pretended to be the Chu King's men and assassinated the Xiang family!"
"The focus is mainly on the lineage of Xiang Yan's eldest son Xiang Qu, especially Xiang Yan's direct grandson Xiang Ji!"
"promise!"
Nodding in agreement, Fan Zeng turned and left.
He had a general understanding of Zhao Shu's thoughts without asking.
He knew in his heart that only by killing Xiang Yan's direct clan members could the Xiang family and King Chu Chu fall out in Huainan. By then, Huainan would be in chaos.
Conducive to the annexation of Da Qin!
Although he didn't know why Zhao Shu emphasized Xiang Yan's direct grandson, he believed that since Zhao Shu mentioned it, there was a certain reason.
As military orders were issued one after another, Zhao Shu's headquarters also began to operate.
Li Xin and Jiang Xian led the army and left.
Only Zhao Shu is still in the shogunate, Daze Township, Haixia, such a familiar place. Maybe this place is destined to the Chu people and the Xiang family!
An hour later, the special envoy of Heibingtai arrived at the shogunate: "Sir, this is a special letter from the general!"
Li Xu took the copper pipe in his hand and handed it to Zhao Shu.
After taking a look at the mud seal on the copper pipe, Zhao Shu opened it and translated it according to the inscription. A smile appeared in Zhao Shu's eyes.
"He is worthy of being the son of the former General of the Qin Dynasty and the father of this General!"
"Immediately reply to Old General Meng Wu. I agree with this strategy and will fight head-on to force Xiang Yan's army to go to Haixia!"
"promise!"
Nodding in agreement, the Black Ice Platform envoy turned and left.
At this moment, Zhao Shu said to Zhao Beichen and Li Xu: "Pass the order, the military doctors, civil servants are all wearing armor and holding swords. In this battle, our army will fight with 50,000 Qin warriors against Xiang Yan's 300,000 army!"
"We must hold off the enemy for at least two more days. When Old General Meng Wu completes the encirclement, General Meng Tian will divide his troops!"
"So, everyone in the army will participate in the war, and you are no exception!"
Having said this, Zhao Shu said with a solemn tone towards the two of them: "Each of you write a suicide note for your family. If you die here, I will convey it to you!"
"Give it to Aweng and Changshi with your own hands!"
"If I die here too, I will leave it to fate!"
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Beichen and Li Xu looked solemn, and they felt the pressure instantly.
This was the first time that Zhao Shu asked them to write a suicide note.
Moreover, Zhao Shu could not even guarantee his own safety, let alone theirs.
You know, according to the military law of the Qin Dynasty, the chief general is the safest.
"Don't worry, young master, the general will understand!"
At this moment, Zhao Beichen said resolutely: "As the young master once said: all the green mountains in the world are the same, there is no loess where people are not buried!"
