My son, Fusu, please abdicate the first emperor!

Chapter 425: Conspiracy (please order all monthly tickets for rewards!)
After completely leaving the border of Qin State, passing through Funiu Mountain, and almost approaching the destination.

This season is at the end of spring plowing, and there are some scattered farmers farming in the wilderness.

So Li Xin ordered the soldiers to rest during the day and advance at night.

Day and night were reversed, and after eight days, Li Xin finally arrived at their destination.

"Report——General, ten miles ahead is City Father."

Li Xin got off the chariot and said, "Okay! We're finally here."

"You go to the back and give the order to all the soldiers to rest where they are. Before taking action, the whole army is silent and not allowed to make any sound."

After receiving the order, the scout rode back slowly. When he saw the captain's adjutant carrying the flag, he held the order arrow and sent a message.

"General Wang has an order! The entire army rests where it is and eats whatever is available. The war is about to begin."

"The general said that the entire army must be silent. Don't worry about eating, drinking, or peeing. Even if you pee or fart, you are not allowed to make a sound!"

"The prince actually asked Li Xin to attack the city father, while we have to confront the Chu State on a frontal battlefield." Meng Tian felt incredible about this.

Together, everyone held Feng Jie in front of Fusu.

In this way, the lone army went deep into the enemy's territory. He ordered the masters with high martial arts to follow the scouts. Once they encountered sentries on guard or patrolling soldiers around, they would kill these Chu soldiers, and then put on Chu people's clothes and disguise themselves. Cheng Chu people patrolled, trying to gain time for the Qin army to advance.

Feng Jie couldn't refuse, so he had to rely on his elders, "Although the prince is the commander of the first army, how can such a big thing be carried out directly without discussing it with us?"

Li Xin is a master of surprise attacks.

In the blink of an eye, Ren Xiao was already considering whether he should write a letter home or something and send it back.

Ren Xiao's eyes widened. He was really worried that his title would be lost again, and that he would be killed along with the prince.

Everyone else also became nervous.

While Li Xin was dancing with the wind on the enemy's territory, the generals in the Qin army camp were talking loudly.

The scout carried the command arrow and a pole on his shoulder, and sent the message all the way back.

Ren Xiao couldn't help but come out and said, "Prince, last time you asked General Li to attract Chu's troops, you gave General Li 80,000. This time you only gave General Li 50,000, and you also asked him to attack the Chu State. An important military town. That’s the city father!”

Meng Wu once said, "Using troops is definitely not a game, and you can't always think about surprise troops. The real battlefield seems to be full of dangers and emergencies everywhere, but the ultimate test is always the accumulated strength of the two armies. Almost Without exception."

Fusu used the same tactics again, and everyone found it untrustworthy.

After Li Xin experienced a surprise military failure, Meng Tian became more and more committed to his father Meng Wu's military strategy.

Every time I went on an expedition before, I would arrange and give instructions at home. But this time, the prince led the troops, Wang Ben assisted, and Feng cooperated. With so many people acting as the prince's think tank, Ren Xiao felt that they would definitely win this battle. So this time he did not make the worst arrangements for his family.

In a deep canyon, thousands of soldiers were densely hidden.

"Things are kept secret, and words are used to reveal defeat. I originally planned to tell you, but there is a spy in the army, and Li Xin is a trump card in our army. I just want to catch them by surprise and scare them, which will increase the morale of the army." There will be chaos, and then it will be a good opportunity for us to launch an attack."

Fusu sat in the seat and said seriously.

The ministers below all had chins, beards, and backs, and when they saw Fusu say this, they all said it in their hearts. But pull it down, Prince. It’s obvious that you were afraid that we wouldn’t agree, so you deliberately hid it from us. There is a spy in the army. This problem has never happened in any war.

Sending spies to ambush enemy troops is the most dangerous but also the most profitable method.

No one likes to use this method.

The only difference lies in the amount of gain and loss brought to the winning side.

But seeing that their prince had a face similar to that of Xianyang Palace and wore a sword that symbolized power, these generals restrained their emotions very well.

Anyway, the prince said so, and the defeat would never fall on them.

"Father of the city, this city is adjacent to our Qin State's Yingchuan County. If our Qin State wants to occupy Chu State step by step, this city must be captured."

Fusu held the baton and pointed at the dividing line between Qin and Chu.

The current dividing line between Qin and Chu runs from southwest to northeast.

There are three rivers crossing the line from north to south.

These three rivers are all tributaries of the Huai River, called Ru River.

As for City Father, it is located halfway between the top river and the middle river. It is also the closest city adjacent to Qin's counties.

"During the Spring and Autumn Period, Chengfu belonged to the Chen State and the Chu State, and was called Yi. In 528 BC, King Ping of Chu destroyed Jiao and changed the name to Chengfu. Five years later, King Ping of Chu sent his prince to build a town to guard Chengfu, and built The city walls build the city’s father’s city.”

"Until now, this city adjacent to the border between Qin and Chu is still an important military town. I have done a rough calculation. Xiang Yan took all the old, weak, sick and disabled people from Chu State and barely managed to assemble an army of 400,000. So their defense line After that, the city father’s garrison would never exceed ten thousand.”

"And they are definitely not elite soldiers."

"Father of the City, this is where the Chu State has stationed its troops and accumulated food. The State of Chu, leading an army of 400,000 men, wants to fight with our Qin State for their lives for a chance of survival. So, Father of the City, this is their granary!"

"The more we occupy Chengfu, the better our Qin's chances of victory will be. Chu scored twice and was attacked from behind again. The morale of the army is bound to be in chaos."

"What do you think?"

After Fusu said this, everyone calmed down.

"But Prince, Meng Tian has a doubt."

"speak."

"Our Qin State, Qin State, has always adopted an offensive route from north to south when attacking Chu State. Because there are rivers everywhere in Chu State, most of us Qin people are not familiar with the nature of water, and the rivers in Chu State have three rivers flowing upward, which have always been Where we dare not attack.”

"Whether it was the previous defeat or this time, our Qin State will send troops from Yingchuan, capture Cai Zhanpingyu, and then directly invade Shouchun. Now the prince has ordered Li Xin to attack Shouchun."

"I guess there is only one reason, and that is that the prince plans to repeat his old trick and deceive the Chu army to send troops back for reinforcements. Because judging from the terrain on the map, as long as our Qin country cannot cross the Chu army's defensive line, it will be impossible to capture Chu. It belongs to Father Guocheng.”

Fusu clapped his hands and said with a smile, "The so-called conspiracy means that you understand that there is a trap ahead, but you have to jump into it. I never thought about leaving an escape route for Chu State."

"Whether they plan to mobilize troops to come back for reinforcements, or whether they want to gain wisdom from the pain, they don't care about the city father in the rear, they are only in a stalemate with us."
