I have lived forever since the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 76 Giant Deer Ahead (Say something at the end of the chapter)

Wild in Jize County.

The terrain here is low-lying, and it is "the combination of wells and hills can make a lot of water", and every household also raises chickens and ducks, so "Ji's lake is called Jize".However, although the origin of the name of this place is a bit random, it can be called an outstanding place, and the self-recommended Mao Sui is from Jize.

At this time, looking down from a high altitude, there is an army that stretches for several miles on the road in its outskirts.

Amidst the sound of trampling horseshoes, Sima Xin couldn't help but rode forward and asked many days of doubts: "Chen Zuoyin. General Xiang gave up stationing in Handan and has been heading north for these days. Where are you going and what is your purpose?"

A few days ago, news came that nearly 30 prisoners from Guanzhong had come straight to Handan. Many generals were in a panic. Only this Chen Zuoyin, with the belief of victory, cited countless examples to convince everyone and cheer up the morale of the army.

Then the top generals discussed internally, and the Chu army withdrew from Handan and moved north.

But there were less than ten participants in that meeting, and as a newly descended General of Qin, he was not eligible to attend.

And the result of its discussion was the cause of Sima Xin's doubts.

At this time, Chen Luo was riding on the horse, steady and steady, discussing with Guo Li how to design the manufacturing plan of the "Three Treasures of the Royal Horse".

After being interrupted by Sima Xin who came over, he shook his head and said: "General Sima, regarding military operations, Brother Yu, General Long, and General Zhong all have correct ideas, and I will never interfere.

But if you are really confused, I can answer you from another aspect. "

"Chen Zuoyin, please tell me." Sima Xin cupped his hands respectfully, but said in his heart: Chen Zuoyin is worthy of being the second person in the Chu army, he speaks so slickly, and he blocked his questions directly without leaking any information. He didn't say any information he wanted to know.

After all, Chen Luo participated in the meeting ten years ago. Even if he didn't speak to participate in the discussion, it is impossible for him to forget the specific content of the discussion and the decision-making results.

Chen Luo rode his horse away from the center of the team, and when he arrived at a place more than ten meters away from the crowd, he said to Sima Xin who followed: "You have been operating in Handan for a long time, so I can understand that you will feel uncomfortable leaving there.

But from the perspective of the Chu army, a decisive battle with the prisoner army from Guanzhong in Handan City is undoubtedly the worst choice. "

"How do you say that?" Sima Xin was puzzled, "The walls of Handan City are high, and the food and grass from the next robbery are enough to supply us for four or five months. Isn't it a good choice to defend the city?"

Chen Luo shook his head: "You only know one thing, not the other. Leaving Handan is the choice we made after weighing many pros and cons.

First of all, Handan is the land of Zhao, and our army is all Chu people, with a lot of barriers in language and accent. Until we left, most of the people in Handan did not trust us.

If you haven't won the hearts of the people, how can you talk about defending the city?

Secondly, Handan City is strong, but wide.Our army has no more than 1 soldiers, and they are scattered, with a maximum of [-] in each direction. In this way, the advantage of the strong city wall is partially offset.

The Qin army attacked it several times, and it was difficult to defend.

In the end, the Qin army who came here this time was composed of criminals. We defended the city and fought, but we were helping the opponent to train their troops. If we really honed them into a battle-ready army.

It is to guard the city of Handan and lose all the land in the world.

Having said all that, I hope General Sima can think about the reasoning behind it. "

"I have been taught, thank you Chen Zuoyin for your guidance." Sima Xin bowed his head and thought after responding.

The reasons given by Chen Luo are quite sufficient, with arguments, so that he can't refute any point.

I originally thought that only by defending Handan can I resist the offensive of the hundreds of thousands of prisoners, just like the city resisted Wang Ling and Wang Lu back then.

But now it seems that what Chen Zuoyin said may be more in line with the current situation.

When he finished thinking and looked up again, Chen Luo had already left on horseback.

After returning to the original location, Dong Yi came up to him immediately and asked in a low voice, "Brother Sima, did you ask where we are going on this trip just now?"

"Ah..." Sima Xin was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly realized.

Chen Luo's Tai Chi skills were so strong that he was directly confused.

Originally, he went to ask questions to know the purpose of the trip, but Chen Luo started talking about why he left Handan, which made him forget the reason why he came to Chen Luo in the first place.

"No matter where you go, it will be better than staying in Handan." After a moment of silence, Sima Xin said with deep eyes.

Dong Yi was immediately bluffed, and asked in a lower voice, "What does Brother Sima mean by that?"

Seeing the other party's attention diverted, Sima Xin was overjoyed, and immediately said: "There are three reasons why we left Handan. First, Handan is full of Zhao people..."

After listening to the explanation, Dong Yi said thoughtfully, "Brother Sima really has a good opinion."

"I don't dare to take it. This is Chen Zuoyin's point of view, I'm just repeating it a little bit." Sima Xin waved his hand, "Now I'm going to patrol the rear. See you later, Brother Dong."

After Sima Xin walked away for a long time, Dong Yi suddenly raised his head and murmured, "It seems that what I just asked was where is the destination of this trip?"

But now Sima Xin was explaining at length just now, but it made him feel that it was his own problem, and he didn't understand the deep meaning, so he was embarrassed to go to ask again.

The foolish Sima Xin was quite at a loss as to the end of the trip during his inspection tour.

"Going further north, we have to go out of Handan County. Could it be that General Xiang wants to develop in Yandi and pursue a great cause?" Sima Xin reasoned in his mind.

However, this idea was quickly denied by himself.

"The land of Yan is bitterly cold, and the soldiers of the Chu army are all from the south. The weather in June is still tolerable at this time. When it comes to the cold winter in the twelfth lunar month, wouldn't people be sick in large numbers?
What's more, the counties in Yandi are very sparsely populated, and there are often barbarians harassing the border. It is not a rich and powerful place. How could General Xiang seek development there for a long time. "

Liaodong and even Yan during the Qin and Han Dynasties were not the most benevolent places in the capital of later generations.People at that time had a stereotyped image of it as a place of suffering for corvée.

After all, throughout the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period, the Yan Kingdom that occupied this place was ups and downs. It only flourished for more than ten years during the reign of King Zhao.

Sima Xin, who was puzzled, could only look into the distance, so as to forget the confusion in his heart.

After all, I have already rebelled against Qin Suichu, so I can only go one way to the dark, and the second and fifth boys who jump repeatedly will not be welcomed on both sides, and they are the characters who will be hacked to death first!

When he was in a daze, the messenger in front waved the flag several times, and then shouted: "The giant deer in front is safe and can pass!"
