Xiang Yan is even more keen on war.
The capture of fighter planes is far beyond ordinary people.
However, he also knew that their current situation was a bit delicate.
Not only in Chu State, but also in the army.
Moreover, with Wang Jian's methods, once the remnants of the Chu army in Huaibei are wiped out, he will inevitably advance quickly in order to block himself in Huaibei!
If he were Wang Jian, he would never let the Chu army cross the Huai River.
Xiang Yan believes that Wang Jian's vision will never be inferior to hers!
"Xiang Liang, how long will it take for our army to reach Qixian?"
After a long time, Xiang Yan arrived in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Xiang Liang said in a solemn tone: "It takes three hours to reach the outskirts of Qixian County, but it will take another two hours for our army to reach the Huai River line!"
"It will take at least half a day before we can start crossing the river!"
"But, General, we have not received any news from the direction of Qixian for half a day!"
"The general is sending scouts to verify the news!"
"Um!"
Nodding, Xiang Yan also said in a deep voice: "At critical moments, caution is paramount in everything!"
"Our current enemies are not only Wang Jian, but also the country!"
"Whether we cross the Huai River or not determines our life or death!"
"promise!"
Seeing Xiang Liang nodding and about to leave, Xiang Yan said in a deep voice: "At the same time, send a letter to Jiangdong, asking your eldest brother to leave with my son!"
"Other tribesmen, please evacuate later!"
"I have an ominous premonition. Once the king notices Young Master Mi Qi, he may not take risks!"
"promise!"
Nodding in agreement, Xiang Liang turned and left.
He has always been skeptical about Xiang Yan's move. In his opinion, Xiang Yan is basically trying to take advantage of Chu, and risking Xiang's family to accompany a young man who has no foundation in Chu!
But he can't change it!
.........
"Sir, our people took action, but the effect was not obvious!"
Fan Zeng frowned.
Walking into the shogunate, towards Zhao Shu, he said: "According to the information we received, our people carried out a precise killing of the Xiang family!"
"However, most of the people who died here are members of the clan!"
"Xiang Qu was already prepared and was protected by the private army in the mansion all the way south!"
"The grandson whom the young master focused on has also disappeared!"
"At the same time, the people of King Chu's negative Cu family who were monitoring the Xiang family were also beheaded and hunted down by our people!"
"The King of Chu was so angry that he killed all the Xiang clan, and only some of them fled to Dongou!"
"At the same time, Grand Sima Jingtong took action, seized Xiang Han's military power, and detained Xiang Han and Xiang Bo!"
"At this stage, the land of Huainan is in chaos!"
At this moment, Fan Zeng's eyes were full of guilt.
He knew in his heart that Zhao Shu had entrusted him with such an important matter, but he failed.
Fan Zeng felt somewhat guilty.
Moreover, he is from Chu, so he is somewhat suspicious of failing in this matter.
He needed to explain clearly to Zhao Shu.
Hearing this, Zhao Shu took a sip of water, nodded with a smile, and said, "The Xiang family has deep roots in Jiangdong. Besides, there were people who carried the cud of the King of Chu to scare the snake!"
"Xiang Qu and others have already made preparations. It is inevitable that we did not do our best in this matter!"
"Sir, don't feel guilty!"
"On the battlefield, there are rarely undefeated warriors. As the saying goes, those who are good at fighting have no great achievements!"
"Our goal has been achieved, that's all!"
Having said this, Zhao Shu turned to Fan Zeng and said, "Sir, where are Xiang Yan's army now?"
"Sir, Zhao Tuo's army and Xiang Yan's army advanced almost at the same time, but the movement trajectories of the two men have changed slightly!"
At this moment, Fan Zeng said in a deep voice: "The purpose of Zhaotuo's army is very clear, that is to pass to the north of Qixian County and then enter Daze Township!"
"And the purpose of Xiang Yan's army is, as always, to go straight to the south of Qixian County, cross the Huai River, and go straight to Huainan!"
Hearing this, Zhao Shu had been on the map for a long time: "Yinwei, where are the old general's troops arriving now?"
"Sir, according to the news, the old general's troops will arrive in Fuli and Qili area in one day!"
With a deep look, Zhao Shu gave an order decisively, saying: "Send the order to the old general, tell them to march quickly and arrive at least two hours in advance!"
"promise!"
"Where did General Meng Tian's troops arrive?"
"Sir, General Meng Tian has divided his troops to march to Zhongli with 50,000 troops. Because this large army sleeps day and night, the march is very slow!"
"Based on the advancement speed and distance, we will arrive north of Zhongli City in three hours!"
Hearing this, Zhao Shu nodded and said, "Can we confirm the time when Xiang Yan's troops and Zhao Tuo's troops will arrive in Qixian?"
Upon hearing Zhao Shu's inquiry, Yinwei quickly reported, "Sir, based on the marching speed of the Chu army, Xiang Yan's troops will arrive at Qixian in three hours and the north bank of the Huai River in one hour!"
"At the same time, Zhaotuo's army will arrive in Daze Township in four hours!"
After staring at the map for a long time, Zhao Shu decisively ordered: "Send an order to General Meng Tian and his army must arrive north of Zhongli half an hour ago and then build fortifications!"
"At the same time, order Li Xin and Jiang Xian to let Xiang Yan and Zhaotuo's army force them into Haixia without a head-on confrontation!"
"promise!"
At this time, Zhao Shu turned to Zhao Beichen and said, "How are our preparations?"
Hearing this, Zhao Beichen quickly reported to Zhao Shu, saying: "The cattle, sheep and poultry in the city have been slaughtered, and the army will make dried meat!"
“Meanwhile, making portable dry food these days!”
"Firelighters and fire oil have been gathered everywhere in Qixian City. The remaining grains in the city's treasury and the Chu people's houses in the city have all been forcibly confiscated!"
"Already piling up!"
"At the same time, the rolling wood production is sufficient, which can completely support our army to hold on for half a month!"
"The equipment business has produced some consumable weapons such as arrows!"
Hearing this, Zhao Shu looked deeply at Zhao Beichen and said: "Xiang Yan's troops will arrive in three hours. Send the order. Except for the west gate, the other three gates have all been sealed with earth and stone!"
"Black Ice Platform, Hidden Palace, and the twelve merchants are all mobilized to ensure that the detailed information of Xiang Yan and Zhaotuo's troops is obtained!"
"Collect the remaining food and grass and pile them up to ignite the fire. Once our army withdraws, pour heavy fire oil on it and ignite it!"
Having said this, Zhao Shu looked at the people in the shogunate: "General Xiang Yan and Zhao Tao are in Qixian and cannot get a grain of food!"
"promise!"
Seeing everyone nodding in agreement, Zhao Shu's eyes were full of murderous intent: "At the same time, I have sent an order to Li Xin. Once Xiang Yan engages in battle with our army, he will immediately lead his army to attack Xiang Yan's food and grass location!"
"I will buy time for him in Qixian!"
