My son, Fusu, please abdicate the first emperor!

Chapter 438 is tense and exciting (please subscribe for monthly tickets!)
Xiang Yan only said, "Wait a little longer. The longer it takes, the more weaknesses and shortcomings of the Qin army will be exposed, and the more beneficial it will be to us."

These words immediately aroused the resentment of the Chu army generals.

Day after day, these aristocratic families have been obeying Xiang Yan's orders for almost two months.

"General, the Qin army is obviously weak, and all the troops and horses are exposed. The prince of Qin was just a blind cat meeting a dead mouse last time, and he ate up the 100,000 generals of our Chu army in vain."

"Yu Gong, we should have launched an attack on the Qin army long ago and killed their 150,000 troops in one bite. Yu Qing, we should avenge our Chu brothers."

"General, do you know how angry the officers and soldiers were when they heard that Prince Qin was in front of the city?"

General Chu, you said something to me.

Song Yi watched coldly, smiling in his heart. Okay, the result can't wait for me to take action.

The general was extremely cautious about Prince Qin, and this incident had angered everyone.

Xiang Yan did not expect that his soldiers would collectively oppose him.

Xiang Yan had no choice but to politely say, "You might as well wait a little longer."

"Even if the Prince of Qin comes to this world, what kind of back-up can he have? He regards a brat who is complacent in winning a battle relying on luck as a formidable enemy and fights with fear. How can I, the majestic general of the Chu Kingdom, deserve it?" Style?"

Xiang Yan said, "Prince Qin has always been very scheming. I'm worried that he may have a back-up plan."

Xiang Yan stayed alone in the tent.

So, Qin's military camp arrived at the border of Chu. Within a few days, Qin's soldiers began to take off their clothes, lay naked on the sand, bask in the sun and sleep.

"General, now that the Prince of Qin himself is in front of the city, and Qin's military deployment is also exposed to our sight, why does General have any reason for us to stand still?"

In fact, the so-called military masters only made a series of sober foresight judgments after gaining insight into human nature.

The guard at the door is Feng Jing, the halberd man.

Xiang Yan is such a person.

He knew that Prince Qin was in a hurry. As long as he stabilized himself, all the Qin army's deployments would reveal their shortcomings.

But what Xiang Yan didn't expect was that it was the Chu people who disrupted the situation first.
-
The generals who left the big tent smiled disdainfully outside the door and said, "Is there any backup plan?"

Everyone abides by military regulations and only accepts and executes orders without thinking about so many things.

Everyone looked at each other again and again, and although they never lost face with Xiang Yan, they no longer discussed the dispatch of troops with Xiang Yan in a good manner, but they all excused themselves and left the table.

However, the Qin army was much easier to manage than the Chu army.

In Qin's military camp, a large tent was set up in the center.

The Chu troops began to criticize Xiang Yan again.

Xiang Yan also heard about them one by one.

"No! We can't wait any longer this time."

This is a big taboo in the military.

Everyone looked at each other and glared at each other, their hearts filled with anger.

"Success or failure depends on this. Let them decide. I will bear the blame."
-
The Chu army was as motionless as a mountain, which also made it difficult for the Qin army to move forward.

Martial law has been imposed around this big tent, and no one is allowed to be more than 300 meters away from the prince's barracks.

It's a pity that there are only two maids in this tent.

Instead, sitting in an inconspicuous captain's tent, there was a figure that no one expected.

Fusu knew that his opponent would be difficult, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult.

"Has there been any new news from those detailed works?" Wang Ben said, "It is said that the Chu State's General Xiang Yan has become the target of public criticism, and many generals from aristocratic families have begun to express their dissatisfaction with Xiang Yan. The Chu State's General Xiang Yan is now suffering from high and low criticism from the army. I feel like he can’t stand it anymore.”

Fusu rarely relaxed for a moment. "If you wait for so long, you get this result. It is worth it. How can a general who has lost his prestige in the army lead an army of 400,000?"

Wang Ben frowned, "It's just the prince. The longer this drags on, not only will my identity be easily exposed, I'm afraid General Li's true identity will also be exposed to the world. By then we can no longer take things by surprise."

"I'm afraid that now, the Chu army has also detected the positions of the other two armies."

Fusu smiled, "But didn't Chu also pretend to retreat? Xiang Yan thought he was a master, but he didn't come back for help immediately. In order to defeat my plan, he repeatedly broke his promise to the army. In the end, it was Chu who had more gains than losses."

"I guess now, Xiang Yan doesn't know whether to let the Chu army go back to recover the city father or to go back and participate in the war?"

The State of Chu could place spies in the Qin army's camps, and the State of Qin could naturally use spies to investigate the situation in the Chu State's army.

The stalemate between the two sides finally started when the Qin army was bored and collectively lay on the beach to dry their bellies as a point of differentiation.

When the Chu army saw the Qin army lying on the ground sleeping in the sun on the high wall and hanging vertical flags to insult Chu, the Chu army broke out again.

The Chu State's army and the Qin State's army cannot be said to be completely different, but there are essential differences.

There is a saying from ancient times that when a father and his son go into battle, they fight like brothers.

Whenever a war is waged by the whole country, no family will be immune to the impact of the war.

The State of Qin came to destroy the State of Chu. The people of Chu State all went to battle with their families, leaving only the old, weak and children.

In the military camp, he is not called General, but Father.

The bigger a family is, the harder it is to manage.

The most important thing is that the family is just the most basic unit in the Chu army. Going up, it becomes a clan;
Further up, there is Yixiang.

Further up, there are the local feudal princes, princes, uncles, etc.

Relying on their surnames and through sacrifices, the high-ranking aristocrats of Chu State always firmly controlled the lower-class common people.

However, the environment (referring to the aristocracy) has not changed after thousands of years. The people of the country have had their teeth removed since birth and are firmly attached to the aristocracy.

This military form, which is similar to the thousands of years of tribal alliances, had its shortcomings fully exposed when Qin and Chu fought in the decisive battle.

When Xiang Yan was unable to maintain his alliance with the leaders of the various families in the Chu coalition, various chaos began to appear in the army.

The army is not like an army, but like a family living in a different place.

The soldiers did not drill. The family went out to fish in the river and dried their clothes by the river.

Whenever they have nothing to do, they gather together to discuss the powerful people they hate but can't live without.

They also have to inform and accuse each other because of their own interests.

In the Chu army, pot after pot of thick porridge was cooked, but the flames in the army gradually weakened.

Xiang Yan's strategy of attrition and confrontation against the Qin army was finally resisted by the powerful men one morning.

The dignitaries of the Chu State bluntly said, "The Qin army has a steady supply of food and grass behind them. They occupy most of the land in the world, have countless fields, and have prisoners to work, constantly make weapons, and encourage farming and weaving."

"The Qin State has endless resources, but right now, the only people left behind by our Chu State are the old, the weak, the sick, and the disabled. We can stop farming for a year, but what happens after that? The Qin Prince is eager to destroy our Chu State within a year. Is it possible? Do we have the strength to fight Qin for a year?"

"For our Chu State, going to war is the best strategy. While the Qin soldiers were still complacent, the three armies dispersed, mobilized their troops and horses, and went straight to the Qin Prince's camp to catch them off guard and eat the main force. .”

The words of the Chu generals were particularly powerful, and Xiang Yan was unable to refute them.

In order to take care of Xiang Yan's face, they even said thoughtfully, "The troops are divided into three groups. After all, it was a rare mistake for Prince Qin to come up with such a method."
