Daqin: The poorest prime minister, the first emperor begged me to corrupt

Chapter 150 As long as Baoqin dares to pursue, we dare to continue to retreat!

"Besides, the uncle and nephew of the Xiang family probably couldn't figure out that my Daqin can attack and disturb Yangyu from the sea. It only needs a small number of soldiers and horses to drive warships, and it can come and go freely in the inland rivers of Yangyu. Yangyu is struggling to deal with it."

"It is even possible to send business travelers and envoys from the gods to instigate the uprising of the Vietnamese people in Yangyu, and plunge the Yangyu court into the ocean of people's war."

"In this way, if the Xiang family and the remaining old clans of the five countries really dare to abandon the Yangyu territory they currently occupy and shrink to the territory of Xiou Kingdom, they will abandon the strategic space in vain. It is a big mistake to take a step forward. Wrong move!"

Qin Mo said hesitantly.

Ying Zheng laughed dumbly and said, "It was indeed a wrong move... It seems that Baiyue is really expected to be pacified before the New Year!"

Qin Mo nodded: "The top priority now is to step up pursuit of the Xiang family's uncles and nephews, and force them to retreat to the territory of Xiou Kingdom, so as to prevent them from taking away a large number of Yangyu men."

"Otherwise, even if there are clan elders who can persuade them to surrender, there is no guarantee that Xiang Yu will not go crazy and slaughter all the uncontrolled Yangyu males."

"Give me an order to leave a mixed team of [-] troops to garrison here, and the rest will continue to march in a hurry!"

"In addition, send a fast horse to send a message to Meng Yi, let him lead the ship, let go of his hands and feet, and disturb the inland of Yangyu!"

After a while, the army sang military songs and marched again, leaving the small plain with only one town, chasing westward along the retreat route of the Xiang family's uncle and nephew, and sending troops to occupy the plain town abandoned by the Xiang family's uncle and nephew.

……

Qin Mo followed behind in an orderly manner, but the uncles and nephews of the Xiang family and the remnants of the old families of the Five Kingdoms were in constant panic and could only run away again and again.

"Report...Report to the general, the Qin army has passed the Sihui Plain."

A few knights came from behind and caught up with Xiang Liang to report.

Xiang Liang nodded, waved his hands to let the knights go down to rest, and then said to Xiang Yu: "The marching speed of the Qin army cannot be measured by common sense, and the marching speed needs to be accelerated again."

The Yue soldiers under the command of the Qin army were able to shorten half a day's journey to less than an hour in the mountains and forests. He still remembers it so far, so he can only speed up the march desperately.

"Uncle, let my nephew lead a thousand cavalry to fight him, otherwise there will be no time to recruit men!"

Xiang Yu frowned and suggested.

Xiang Liang shook his head resolutely, and refused: "The Qin army now has cavalry available, and they are more elite than the Qin army cavalry I saw in Zhaodi. They are already frighteningly elite."

"After you lead a thousand cavalry, once you are entangled, it will be difficult to escape."

"After you lose your energy, you might as well lead a thousand cavalry, speed up to the plains in front, help the remaining soldiers, recruit the men, and wait for me to join you!"

When Xiang Yu heard this, he immediately lost his temper.

When he and Xiang Liang had just escaped from the Qin army and fled to the Zhecheng plain, they joined the defenders in a town and fought with the mixed infantry of the Qin army.

The fighting power of those cavalry is indeed terrifying.

Even, his keen sense of the battlefield didn't work on those cavalry at all.

Because even if he could see the fighter plane, those cavalry could rely on their strong combat power to turn the so-called fighter plane in his eyes into a slaughterhouse for the soldiers of the Six Nations!

"Uncle, are we really going to shrink back to Xiou Kingdom?"

After a moment of silence, Xiang Yu spoke again.

Xiang Liang nodded: "If not, we will have to defend the city against Tyrant Qin, and at the same time deal with Yangyu's army."

"Instead of dispersing the troops and consuming them little by little, it is better to leave the Yangyu Kingdom to the Tyrant Qin to deal with it, and shrink all the troops to the Xiou Kingdom, forming an overwhelming advantage over the Xiou Kingdom, and capturing its remaining land."

"At Jieshi, you can also hone a usable Yueren army, and then you can devote all your thoughts to fighting the Qin army!"

Xiang Yu frowned and said, "But what if the Tyrant Qin doesn't care about Yangyu, and just pursues us relentlessly?"

These words caused a wry smile to appear on Xiang Liang's face, but then he gritted his teeth and said, "Then in the territory of Xi'ou Kingdom, we will fight with Tyrant Qin to the death."

"Or, continue to the west and enter the territory of Luoyue Kingdom. As long as Bao Qin dares to pursue, we will retreat to a further place and see how long they can chase."

"I just don't believe that there is no place for the restoration of our Xiang family in this vast world!"

This is definitely escapism.

But when the time comes, escape is the only way.

Xiang Yu had nothing to say, he could only look up at the sky and sigh softly. It would be better if he escaped like this and died in the forest. At least he died a decent death...

……

Next, the uncle and nephew of the Xiang family retreated for several days in a row, while the Qin army chased closer and closer.

Qin Jun's marching speed was indeed as Xiang Liang expected, and it was unexpectedly fast.

With less than [-] Qin troops, apart from cavalry, they were Chunan infantry and Yue soldiers.

Chunan infantry and Yueren warriors are good at crossing mountains and mountains. Although cavalry cannot use it well in the mountains and forests during battle, they can actually travel very quickly.

Even if they took a long way around, they were faster than Chu Nan infantry and Yueren soldiers!
In this way, the uncle and nephew of the Xiang family who were being pursued became impatient.

Even if they entered the plains, they didn't dare to rest too much. The local defenders took as many men as they recruited, and then continued to set off.

In the end, some soldiers and horses had to be left behind to delay the Qin army's pursuit speed.

And leaving the broken soldiers and horses is almost to die!

After fighting guerrillas in the mountains and forests, he would be eaten up by Chu Nan infantry and Yue soldiers in an instant.

After defending the city on the plain, they will be fired with a powerful Thunderbolt bomb from the cannon carts, which makes people doubtful.

However, after all, the soldiers and horses after the break have played a role, and they can always delay for a day and a half at critical moments, so as not to be caught up and bitten.

But how did the nephew and uncle of the Xiang family know that this was the result of the Qin army's deliberate release of water. They failed to take away a large number of men, and Qin Mo's strategic goal was achieved.

Then, follow behind and pick up plain towns for nothing, it's really not too flattering!
"Report...report to the Sun God Emperor...Qin Tianshen, there is still a day's journey before he can catch up with the armies of the six nations."

On the mountain road, a team of scouts returned with several heads and reported to Ying Zheng and Qin Mo.

Qin Mo immediately said to the soldiers beside him: "Send the order, rest for half a day, don't chase too closely."

"Otherwise, if they are really in a hurry, they won't run away, and they will lose all the good things in the plains and towns for nothing!"

"Here."

The soldiers rushed away on horseback, calling for the marching troops to stop and rest along the way.

Qin Mo and Ying Zheng also dismounted, found a shady place, and asked Zhao Gao to spread out the map and study it.

Later, the civil officials who served as senior missionaries and senior military judges in various school departments also rode over to find Ying Zheng to show their presence.

"Judging from the map, there are still about ten days' journey before Xiang's uncle and nephew can enter the territory of Xiou Kingdom. What does Prime Minister Qin plan to do?"

Li Si gestured on the map for a long time, then raised his head and asked Qin Modao.

He had always avoided Qin Mo like a snake and scorpion, and did not dare to take the initiative to talk to Qin Mo. At this moment, he probably had a strategy in mind and wanted to show it off in front of Ying Zheng.

Qin Mo asked very cooperatively: "Lieutenant Li Ting has a good plan, so why not tell me."

"I don't dare to take a good policy, I just remind Qin Xiang a little bit."

Li Si bowed his hands modestly, and then said: "If the uncle and nephew of the Xiang family lead the troops of the six countries into the territory of Xiou, if we continue to pursue them, it will definitely provoke a strong counterattack from the nephew and uncle of the Xiang family."

"At the time of introduction, there must be a new force in the territory of Xiou Kingdom to support them. The two armies will join forces to defend one place. Even if our army can invade Xiou Kingdom, we will have to pay a certain price."

"Thus, according to Si's opinion, before the uncle and nephew of the Xiang family lead their troops into the territory of Xiou Kingdom, and when they still have chances, they should catch up and beat him by surprise, and annihilate him on the border of Xiou Kingdom!"

Qin Mo raised his eyebrows, nodded and said: "Well, what Li Tingwei said is reasonable, it should be true."

He, the number one warrior in China who fights dull battles, is really inferior to Li Tingwei, who is unparalleled in intelligence.

Ying Zheng also praised: "Tonggu has been with the army for several months, but he has become more and more proficient in military tactics."

Li Si smiled slightly, bowed his hands modestly and said: "Your Majesty's false praises, Qin Xiang's false praises, I also get something occasionally."

Feng Jie, Zhou Qingchen and others, including Zhao Gao, who was obsessed with military affairs recently, did not expect this, but rather admired Li Si, and said: "We are envious of Li Tingwei's progress."

Li Si bowed his hands modestly again: "Don't brag, gentlemen, you will get carried away with your complacency."

He said so in his mouth, but in his heart he shouted that the hard work was not in vain.

These days, when he was finishing his job, he hadn't thought much about how to thwart the plan of Xiang's uncle and nephew.

And like him, he is a very intelligent person, once he pays attention to something, he will always gain something!
……

With Li Si's suggestion, Qin Mo stopped dawdling during the march in the next few days, allowing the army to quickly draw the distance from the armies of the six countries.

As for the uncle and nephew of the Xiang family who were about to enter the territory of Xi'ou country, they were unwilling to be caught up and frequently left a large group of people behind.

But Qin Mo has become serious, leaving behind a large group of troops is of limited utility, and even directly bypasses the towns with dead troops, just chasing most of the troops from the six countries led by the uncle and nephew of the Xiang family. If the soldiers of the Six Kingdoms dared to go out of the town to harass the rear, they would be attacked by the guard cavalry.

On the eighth day, most of the troops led by the Xiang family's uncle and nephew were finally overtaken by five thousand cavalry guards on a plain.

The uncle and nephew of the Xiang family saw that something was going wrong, so they had to lead their army into a nearby small town, and at the same time sent fast horses to ask for help from the remaining soldiers and horses in Xiou Kingdom.

Qin Mo and Ying Zheng followed up with [-] Chunan infantry and [-] mixed infantry. When they rushed outside the small city, Zhang Han, the captain of the Imperial Guard, happened to be chasing the messenger of the Xiang family's uncle and nephew.

"Your Majesty, General, there are probably four to five thousand soldiers from the six countries in the hands of the Xiang family's uncles and nephews, and there are tens of thousands of Yangyu men who were forcibly abducted, and they are all in this city now."

Zhang Han came to the Chinese army and reported to Qin Mo and Ying Zheng.

Looking at the small town not far away, Ying Zheng frowned and said, "It's really difficult to defend this small town with so many troops!"
