Dahan first prince

Chapter 233 Make sure to let Ying Bu know that she is alone in Qi County!

"Ah~"

"really······"

"In my new life, Uncle Chu, I still chose the worst way..."

To the west of Qixian County, within the large tent of the Chinese army of the counter-insurgency army.

Knowing Liu Jiao's defensive arrangement against the Chu army, Liu Ying couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and then shook her head full of exclamation.

Although at this point in the previous life, Liu Ying had only just been lifted from the year-long "repentance behind closed doors", but Liu Ying still had some understanding of Huainan Wang Yingbu's rebellion.

——Almost exactly the same as this life, after raising troops in July of the 11th year of the Han Dynasty, Yingbu quickly took Jingdi, turned his head north, and attacked Chu State to the north of Jingdi.

At that time, Chaotang had just received the news that Yingbu had raised troops, and the anti-insurgency army had just completed its assembly in Chang'an, and even Chaotang was still trying to evade the question of "Whether Liu Bang's body is capable of going out or not".

And during this period when the court received the news-stopped the army-confirmed Liu Bang's expedition-the army arrived in Chu, the task of blocking the footsteps of the Yingbo rebels was completely on the shoulders of Chu King Liu Jiao.

The enemy is present, and there is no support in a short period of time. However, the north of Huainan Kingdom and Jing Kingdom under the control of Yingbu is exactly the entire southern border of Chu Kingdom that is [-] to [-] miles long.

In order to stop Yingbo's footsteps, as well as to defend his land and his people, Chu Wang Liu Jiao finally had no choice but to divide the Chu army, which was only tens of thousands of people, into three parts, each with a distance of [-] miles from east to west. The distance is evenly arranged in the west of Huai River.

In her previous life, when Liu Ying ascended the throne as a puppet, when she was idle in the palace, she also summoned several generals to discuss whether Liu Jiao's move was appropriate or not.

But no matter whether the person asked this question was a meritorious official, a courtier, or a relative, anyone with a military background and knowledge of military formations would give the same answer.

——It is theoretically feasible to divide the troops into three groups, but combined with the fact that Chu people pay too much attention to individuals and families and underestimate the actual situation of the collective, the Chu army, which is already at a disadvantage in terms of strength, divides into three groups, which is basically no less than seeking death.

The reason is simple: just like the current situation, the Chu army at that time was no more than 4 to [-] horses!
Even if Liu Jiao worked his life out and forcibly confiscated the strong people into the army and went to heaven, it would be on this basis that there would be tens of thousands more mobs.

But at that time, Yingbo held a total of 10 Huainan rebels, and also engulfed King Jing Liu Jia's army and the people of Jing.
With such a huge disparity in numbers, even in a head-on confrontation, the Chu army would inevitably be at a huge disadvantage. It would be useless to divide the troops into three groups and distribute the small forces even more scattered.

However, Liu Ying still remembers: Although she expressed regret for Liu Jiao's decision of "dividing troops into three groups", everyone who was asked this question once added such a sentence.

——Whether it is reasonable for the king of Chu to divide the army into three groups is indeed open to discussion; but other than that, there is basically no other choice in front of Liu Jiao at that time.

The reason is also very simple: the burden on Liu Jiao's shoulders is really too heavy...

First, the rebels are numerous and powerful, while the Chu army has few major generals, and the strength of the two sides is seriously unequal;
On the other hand, the rebel army had just won a great victory over the country, and their morale was high, but under the ups and downs, the Chu army was panicked and unstable;
The third is that in addition to deploying defenses on the southern border, Liu Jiao also needs to deploy heavy troops in some strategically important areas in the interior of Chu.

——You must know that the land of Longxing in Liu Han Sheji is within the territory of Chu State!
Even if it is not for the face of the emperor's elder brother or Liu Hansheji, but just because of the "Liu" surname on his head, Liu Jiao must not let Fengpei Longxing's place be in the slightest danger.

In addition to Fengpei, Pengcheng, the capital of Chu where Liu Jiao was located, naturally had to leave some strength behind, just in case.

Leaving such a team behind, in case the southern line of defense falls and Liu Jiao defends the high walls of Pengcheng to fortify the city, there is a chance to wait for the arrival of Liu Bang's army.

At worst, it will not be reduced to the tragic end of King Jing Liu Jia.

Furthermore, besides trying to ensure that 'Chu land is not controlled by Yingbo', Liu Jiao also has a seemingly unreasonable but actually extremely critical strategic task.

——As the only force capable of stopping the rebels in a short period of time, not only could Liu Jiao not allow Chu to be controlled by Yingbo, but at the same time, Liu Jiao could not make Yingbo give up attacking Chu and turn westward. Directly pose a threat to Huaiyang, Liang Guo, and even Xingyang and Luoyang to the west of Liang Guo!

Because Yingbu went north, it was just a "Qi Chu warning"; but if it went west, it would immediately be a warning from Hangu, and there was a big earthquake in Guanzhong!

Therefore, Liu Jiao had no choice but to divide his troops.

The troops are divided into three groups. In addition to guarding against Yingbo's attack on Chu, we must also ensure that the most westward of the three troops is always on guard against Yingbo leading the army to bypass Chu and go directly west!
And under such heavy strategic pressure, the final result is self-evident.

In the end, Yingbo pretended to take a detour to the west, tricked the army sent by Liu Jiao to Hong County to garrison out of the city, and immediately surrounded and wiped it out!

Knowing that one of the three armies of Chu was completely wiped out at the beginning of the war, the other two armies immediately scattered like birds and beasts.

Fortunately, in the end, Liu Bang's army arrived in time and blocked the Yingbu rebels who were planning to turn their heads west and block them in the territory of Chu State.

In the previous life, the place where Liu Bang's main force and the Yingbo rebels encountered was the western suburb of Qi County where Liu Ying was at the moment...
"Whoo~"

"In the previous life, my father was lying on the carriage, and he brought no more than one hundred thousand Guanzhong soldiers and horses, and defeated Yingbu."

"In this life, at the same place, with an army of nearly 20 in one hand, there is no reason to lose..."

"Bar?"

With a calm face, Liu Ying finally straightened up slowly, and shifted her deep gaze to her uncle Lu Shizhi beside her.

"Where are the soldiers and generals from all walks of life?"

Seeing Liu Ying's expression was indifferent, and she asked the question as if nothing had happened, Lu Shizhi's face froze.

He bowed his head for a moment of awkwardness, but in the end, Lu Shizhi absolutely went down the slope, pretending nothing had happened.

——No matter what, Liu Ying's tent of the Chinese army has been moved to Qi County!
The rice has been cooked and the wood has been turned into a boat. What else can Lu Shizhi, a "supervisor of the Chinese army" in charge of food and supplies, do?
Even if it is for the sake of maintaining a better relationship with this stubborn nephew in the future, so that he can take care of him more after he ascends the throne, Lu Shizhi can only pretend to be stupid.

Go up to the sky, that is, keep an eye on your side, don't let this guy go out and walk around again, if there is a change in the war, just take Liu Ying and slip away...

"At home."

"According to the order of the king of Chu, the soldiers of Chu State were divided into two groups, each with [-] soldiers, and they have now arrived in Ling County and Xu County."

"The soldiers in Ling County are under the command of Lieutenant Zhang Gu, Lieutenant of Chu; in Xu County, Li Yi, the general of Chu, is stationed."

"The other general, Marquis Jipu, has also arrived in Ling County, and he considers him the commander of the Chu army."

"As well as the Qi soldiers led by the Marquis of Pingyang, they have all arrived in Hong County, which is only a hundred miles away from Qi County."

"If bandits attack Hong County, the army led by the family can also go to help day and night..."

After saying something meaningful, Lu Shizhi stopped talking for a while, not forgetting to look at Liu Ying's face.

——What Lu Shizhi really wanted to say was, "If His Highness makes any mistakes, it will take at least one day and one night for the troops of the Marquis of Pingyang to help His Highness"······

Seeing that the expression on Liu Ying's face did not change, and he still had a slightly serious look indifferently, Lu Shizhi could only sigh helplessly, and continued: "By the military order of the Prime Minister of the Right, the main force in the Guanzhong of Huaiyang , also divided into three parts."

"One of them was personally commanded by the right general Boyang Hou Chen Bi, with [-] dead, stationed in Huaiyang;"

"Another part was controlled by Yingyin Hou Guanying, who was stationed west of the Huai River, at the junction of Huaiyang and Huainan, and pretended to capture Shouchun, and it was also [-]."

"The remaining [-] people are in the hands of the Marquis of An Guo. According to the family's military order, they set off from Huaiyang four days ago. At the latest at noon tomorrow, they should arrive in Qi County to protect the family..."

Telling all the current movements of Qi and Chu soldiers and horses, as well as the Guanzhong soldiers and horses who went south from Handan, Lu Shizhi did not forget to add one last sentence: "In addition, the nearly [-] young and strong people in Guanzhong led by Marquis Xuan Ping should also be taken care of. Near Hangu, in another twenty days, it will be possible to arrive at..."

Following Lu Shizhi's deep and gentle voice, a group of soldiers and horses ranging from [-] to [-] to as many as [-] or even [-] turned into villains in Liu Ying's mind, and then in a huge Kanyu is moving.

In the end, except for those soldiers and horses who had already reached the defensive position, there were three remaining men in Liu Ying's mind who were still moving slowly, and their destinations all pointed to where Liu Ying was at the moment—the villain in Qi County.

These three villains, one is the [-] Huaiyang soldiers and horses under the command of Wang Ling, who will arrive at noon tomorrow;
One is Liu Ying's brother-in-law, once the second king of Zhao, the current prince's son-in-law, and now Xuanping Hou Zhang Ao led a supplementary force in Guanzhong, nearly 10 people, who can arrive within 20 days.

And different from the previous two villains, and even the rest of the villains who have already taken their positions - this third villain is not the red color that symbolizes the Han army...

"Yingbo's department, is there any movement?"

Withdrawing her attention from the little black man flying northward in her mind, Liu Ying suddenly asked again.

But Lu Shizhi shook his head with a stern expression.

"Never."

"Since King Jing died in Fuling, the eyeliner, eyes and ears that King Chu put on have all left Jingdi."

"What is the movement of the rebel army today, when will they cross the Huai River, where will they cross the water, and where will they launch their attack? It is impossible to know."

Hearing Lu Shizhi's reply, Liu Ying still nodded indifferently with neither happy nor sad expression.

But in her heart, Liu Ying is very clear about the movements of the Yingbo army...

"Pingyanghou, where are you now?"

"Hong County."

After receiving an affirmative answer, Liu Ying quietly got up from her seat, and looked at Lu Shizhi beside her with a slightly serious look.

"I'm sorry for my uncle's departure, and went to Hong County in person to meet him. With the order of Gu, he delivered it to the Marquis of Pingyang."

Hearing Liu Ying's words, even though Lu Shizhi had doubts, he had no choice but to bow down.

After standing up straight, Lu Shizhi looked at Liu Ying tentatively, and there was also a hint of asking for instructions in his eyes.

"At home, do you want to repair a book?"

"Or talk to the minister, and wait for the minister to relay the Pingyang Hou face to face?"

Liu Ying waved her hand casually: "No need to revise books."

"Hong County is a hundred miles away from here. Uncle, if you work hard, you can arrive in half a day."

"At dawn tomorrow, my uncle will leave immediately, arrive around noon, and tell the Marquis of Pingyang that a dark report has been sent back a few days ago to the eyes and ears placed by Yingbu's side."

"—The Huainan bandits will definitely attack Chu from Hong County! However, when the bandits come, there is no conclusion yet."

"Wang Pingyanghou, from tomorrow onwards, he will strengthen the walls and clear the wilderness, and be strict day and night, so that Hong County must not lose anything!"

Speaking of this, Liu Ying's cheeks tightened a little, and she involuntarily stepped forward, looking at Lu Shizhi with a hint of strength in her eyes.

"Also: If the bandits come and don't attack Hong County, but go around instead, the gates of Hong County's city gates must never be opened; the Qi soldiers in Hong County must not leave the city to fight!"

Seeing Liu Ying's deep eyes looking at him, Lu Shizhi only nodded subconsciously.

But after a while, Lu Shizhi looked panicked again, as if he was about to fall to his knees.

"Your Highness can't!"

"Your Highness, absolutely impossible!!!"

With a mournful wail, Lu Shizhi followed Liu Yingqiang's uplifted arm and held Liu Ying's arm tightly. The expression on his face was filled with bitterness in an instant.

"Your Highness!"

"Qi County is only a hundred miles away from Hong County!!!"

"If the thieves come instead of attacking Hong County, and instead take a detour, at most two days, they will arrive at the home where the Chinese Army is located!!!"

"At that time, the Marquis of Pingyang would not dare to violate the military order of his family even if he had the order of 'do not leave the city' if he wanted to go out of the city~~~~~~"

Saying this in a panic, Lu Shizhi didn't forget to shed two tears, and wanted to kneel down again.

"minister!"

"Please go home, take back your life!!!!!!"

Seeing that Lu Shizhi was about to kneel down again, Liu Ying spent a lot of strength to keep Lu Shizhi's knees barely a foot away from the floor.

There was a stalemate for a while, and finally Lu Shi gave up the idea of ​​kneeling down. When Lu Shizhi straightened up, Liu Ying seemed to surrender, and sighed with a wry smile.

"My uncle protects each other with fists and fists, and my nephew dare not ignore even though he has the holy life..."

After saying something with a wry smile, Liu Ying slowly sat back on her seat, raised her head, and added as if giving in, "Since that's the case, my uncle will say to Pingyang Hou: If the thief comes and doesn't attack, you can't leave the city for now; Three days after the thieves went around, they sent out scouts to investigate."

"If Qi County is in danger, we must immediately dispatch the Hong County Army to come to our rescue!"

With a helpless look on her face, she said the order that had been decided long ago, and Liu Ying did not forget to smile at Lu Shizhi again.

"So, can I?"

Seeing that Liu Ying did not persist this time, Lu Shizhi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After hearing the phrase, "You can go out of the city in three days, if there is a problem in Qi County, we will do our best to help", Lu Shizhi finally calmed down a little, and bowed to Liu Ying.

But what Lu Shizhi didn't know was that almost at the same moment he stepped out of the military tent, a figure in crimson uniform quietly appeared beside Liu Ying.

If Lu Shizhi heard Liu Ying's next words, no matter what, Lu Shizhi would not be able to tell Liu Ying's meaning to Pingyang Marquis Cao Can who was stationed in Hong County...

"Let the wind out."

"You should let the tattooed thief know quickly: the lonely big banner is standing in the west of Qi!!!"

　Alas, something happened, the mood is not right, let's update it today...
　　I can't find anyone more unlucky than me...
