My son, Fusu, please abdicate the first emperor!

Chapter 424: Mobilizing the Army (please order all monthly tickets for rewards!)
Before setting off, Li Xin couldn't help but sigh, "I was worried that I would quietly mobilize my troops and leave without a name. This is a good time. The Chu army came to give us an opportunity."

It seems to be a serious operation to target rumors and curb the spread of rumors by spies.

Instead, Fusu had an excuse to mobilize all the armies and impose martial law.

In this way, even if Li Xin mobilizes his troops and leaves, he will not be noticed by others at all.

To be on the safe side, Fusu even asked Wang Bi to personally dispatch Li Xin's troops until he sent them to take a detour west to Changge City.

When it was almost dawn, the entire military camp was still asleep.

But Wang Ben had already led 50,000 cavalry and drove their chariots to the edge of Changge City.

A light drizzle fell on the soldiers' heads. These raindrops were very gentle, like the caress of their wives on the soldiers' last night before leaving home.

When they arrived at the city gate, most of the soldiers were confused.

It was getting dark, but the soldiers didn't yawn at all. They had slept for a long time, put on a lot of weight, and finally acted all night.

"If you want to know, you have to keep it secret and ensure that only you know the truth."

In a chariot, a pair of brothers couldn't help but chatter.

Wang Ben's face with a big Chinese character makes everyone feel at ease.

God-given opportunity, they are naturally happy.

The younger brother still smiled playfully, "Brother, our opportunity to make a meritorious deed has come. Didn't you realize that the general asked us to bring weapons for this trip? They say we are traveling lightly, but in fact we are just to attack the Chu Kingdom."

There were only seven people on the stage, two generals on top, one holding the edict and talisman in his hand, and the other Wang Ben.

So the two heads on the chariot got together and said, "I heard something is going to happen. We are going to be sent on a secret mission. The others will stay, and only we can go."

"Right - you started again, and where did you get the false news? The general said that no rumors are allowed, no rumors are allowed, no rumors are allowed, no rumors are allowed, and no rumors are allowed to be believed. Everything is based on military orders." The elder brother looked serious.

The elder brother looked suspicious, "Really or not?"

"It's me." Li Xin said expressionlessly.

But when they saw the face of the man next to Wang Ben clearly, they all took a step back in fright.

"But I only know this place if there are many."
-
Directly in front of the army, a general station has been set up on the flat ground.

Everyone was very excited after stretching their muscles, and everyone started whispering again.

"Nonsense! What you say is still the same thing."

The flags of Qin were fluttering on both sides, and the braziers on the high stands were burning brightly.

"General Li——"

"There was a spy in the army. In order to catch the spy, General Wang separated all the armies."

"Brother, you only know one, but not the other. Separating the armies is just a pretense. The prince plans to attack the Chu army."

The five captains suddenly received the order, and they were both nervous and excited.

"Don't worry, I promise."

Only those who have participated in a war know that less than one-third of those who can actually engage the enemy in close combat, and less than one-tenth of those who can make military exploits and return home.

The five captains all looked at Wang Ben.

Wang Ben then said, "This is what I want to instruct the five of you. In this battle, I, Wang Ben, will nominally lead the troops myself, but in fact it is General Li who will lead you."

These captains have received strict training and know that they hold 10,000 lives in their hands.

They received the order without making any unnecessary movements, expressions, or asking any unnecessary questions. They immediately accepted the order after being slightly surprised.

"Wei!" "In the entire army, only five of you know that it was General Li who commanded the killing of the enemy this time. If anyone leaks the news that General Li is leading the troops, no matter who it is, they will be killed."

"only!"

"The command of the war will be left entirely to General Lee. He will tell you the rest. I will send you here."

These people were also very excited to see Li Xin, the young general who once glorified the armed forces, again.

It is said that every battle with Li Xin is very enjoyable. It's just that the final battle was a little rushed.

"This operation of our army is top secret. All you need to do is look at the command flag and listen to the copper ceremonial as the signal to move forward. You won't ask too many questions or look too many along the way."

The captain was confused, "The general means that we captains cannot know the purpose of this war."

“Things are accomplished through secrets, and failure is revealed through words.”

Li Xin said as he placed the tiger talisman and seal in his hands.

Several people understood that this was what the prince meant, and just said "wei".
-
While other Qin troops were still resting, a Qin army on the edge of Changge City was quietly moving around the city from the north and heading west.

Fortunately, looking at the direction of the sun, Chu Jun knew which direction they were moving.

Several captains had read the map, and they were aware of Li Xin's military intentions.

But when this wave of Qin cavalry left Changge ten miles away, they all went crazy like horses flying on the grassland.

As the rolling chariot sped forward, the faces of the officers and soldiers were filled with excitement.

Everybody was saying, "We're going on a top-secret mission."

But the soldiers also felt how unique this initiative to attack Chu was. None of them knew even a word about this top-secret mission.

In order to eliminate spies in the army.

Li Xin deliberately kept his cronies at the rear of the army. Anyone who fell behind or relieved himself would be investigated.

Nothing is allowed to be dropped on the road, and the surrounding stones and vegetation are not allowed to be touched to prevent anyone from marking it.

They always keep lime on them, ready to sprinkle lime marks on them in case of emergencies.

Li Xin repeatedly ordered the five captains, "Even if the spies cannot be found, they must be trapped and killed in the army."

"Every five people are in a team, and each team must question each other every night. Even brothers must supervise each other to avoid being taken advantage of."

"This time the spies are coming with force. If there is any mishap, all the brothers may die."

After Li Xin's repeated orders, several spies finally couldn't stand it anymore.

Who can bear to be questioned every morning and noon?

Moreover, traveling long distances consumes the most energy.

People who work as spies play with their brains. When their physical strength is exhausted to the extreme, they begin to show their weaknesses.

Just overnight, five spies were eliminated from the army.

Spies follow whoever gives them money. Maybe today a person is ambushing Chu for the benefit of Qin. If he returns to Chu another day and sees that Chu is gaining momentum, he will betray Qin and serve Chu.

When the two armies are fighting, there are bright battlefields and dark battlefields. The obvious battlefield is a flesh-and-blood confrontation between the two armies, while the dark battlefield is the changing situation of people's hearts.

Those speculators are often the best at analyzing the situation and deciding the flow of information in their hands based on the changes in power on both sides.

Li Xin did not kill these spies.

He decided to leave them to do something big.
