Qiang Qin

Updated: 2010-10-29

After Xiang Yu heard the news, he decided that this was the best opportunity for him to take the first step in the Central Plains. He couldn't wait to lead his troops and rush out, but he didn't agree with Fan Zeng's words. So he asked, "What is Mr. Fan thinking? Are we going to sit here and wait?"

Fan Zeng said: "Don't be impatient, the Bawang. Although it seems from the news that I have a great chance this time, how can the Bawang be sure that this is true? I am sure that Fusu is also in my heart." There are a lot of spies in the ground, so they must know the news of our attack on Qi. Maybe he is afraid that our Chu country will become a big one, so he throws out such an excellent opportunity to lure the overlord to lead the army. Attack. The overlord should know that although the loss of our army in the conquest of Qi is not too great, the soldiers are already exhausted. The battle will inevitably be at a disadvantage, so the old man still thinks that the most important thing at the moment is to confirm the news. The battle between Qin and the Huns is no longer one or two battles. Back then, Meng Tian's 30 army could not completely wipe them out. Fusu really started a war with the Xiongnu this time, and it cannot be ended in a short time, so we can fully understand the matter before deciding whether to send troops. In this way, our soldiers can also rest for a period of time, and wait for their physical strength to recover. It won't be too late for the Overlord to lead them to fight the Qin people."

Although Xiang Yu wanted to expand his business as soon as possible, he was not a person who would not listen to persuasion. Hearing what Fan Zeng said was very reasonable. When I got to Long Qie and Xiang He, I wanted to hear their opinions.Xiang He is a relatively mature person. From the very beginning when Xiang Yu said that he would send troops to attack the Central Plains, he felt that this matter may not be feasible, but after listening to Fan Zeng's words, his decision became more firm, so he said: "Overlord, what Fan Lao said is very true. , we'd better find out the situation before sending troops."

Long Qi also nodded and said: "It is really not appropriate to go to war now. Regardless of whether the news is correct or not, it is still difficult to defeat the Qin people with our strength. Only when the Qin people and the Xiongnu are in an inextricable battle. Only then can we have a chance to give them a blow. Moreover, although the people of Qi have already surrendered, the people of Qi must still miss the old country in their hearts, and it will not be possible to make them return to their hearts in a short time. It will be unfavorable to us in the future, so the general thinks that it is better to follow Fan Lao's opinion and wait and see what happens."

Xiang Yu saw that the three people whom he valued and trusted all thought it was better not to send troops first, so he finally made up his mind to have a look first, but he still ordered the spies to listen more in Xianyang and the north, so as to Get the best attack time.As a result, many spies from Chu State were sent to various parts of the Central Plains to obtain information. Before the frontal battle between Qin and Chu started, the espionage war had already begun.But what Xiang Yu and the others never imagined in their dreams was that his talents left Chudi. Xianyang City had already received news about their movements, and the news was delivered to Xianyang through letters sent by flying pigeons from station to station.

On the prairie, in the large tent of Shanyu, Maodun was listening to a man who was sweating and out of breath reporting news from all sides to him. "Da Shanyu, now the Qin people in the Central Plains have deployed thousands of troops in various important places. Once they find anyone acting suspicious, they will be killed immediately on the spot. The spies have risked their lives to find out the news." The man said as he raised his sleeve and wiped the sweat off his head.

"It's really unexpected that these people from Qin moved so fast, and they were ready for all battles in a short period of time. Mr. Ji, do you think we should send troops to attack?" Mo Dun regretted his rashness After all, he still has memories of Meng Tian's defeat of the Huns. Although he didn't go to the battlefield at that time because he was young and he didn't value his father, he still heard a lot from those soldiers. The people of Shaoqin are very powerful.

Ji Du stood in front of the sheepskin map drawn by himself, and marked all the places the man said on the map with a rough brush made by himself. Just as he was fascinated by these important points, he heard Mao Dun He hurriedly replied: "Da Shanyu, according to my judgment, the Qin people will not man all the intersections. They don't have so many people, so just let us find a weak point. Then you can rush into the Central Plains, and by that time all parts of the Central Plains will be plundered by your troops.”

"Then, have you found a point to attack?" Mo Dun walked up to him and asked, looking at the picture that he couldn't understand.Mo Dun has always been curious about this map. He can vaguely understand the images that symbolize rivers and mountains, but he can't understand the distorted words at all.

Ji Du looked at it for a long time before saying: "Now I can't find a breakthrough. After all, our spies can't fully grasp the defense situation in various places, but I can be sure that these soldiers must be distributed in various places, so we have a great chance."

Mao Dun always felt that what Ji Du said was equivalent to not saying anything, so he had to ask: "In your opinion, how should we find that breakthrough?" There was a trace of distrust in his tone.

After thinking about it for a while, Ji Du said: "If Da Shanyu is willing to have a team, he can ask them to attack a critical pass with all their strength, and at the same time send spies to investigate at each critical pass. If a place is threatened, they must The council sent people to ask for help everywhere, and those places where the soldiers did not move are the weak spots of the guards. But in this way, it may be difficult for the troops who were used to inquire about the news to come back." Ji Du was the one who was throwing stones to ask for directions. plan.

After listening to this strategy, Mao Dun also thought about it, and felt that there was no better way than this method, or he was willing to give up this shot, so he said: "Okay, then I will send Nata and his troops to attack one place."

Ji Du nodded and began to look at the map again.In fact, he knew very well that the most sensible way now is to stand still and wait for the time to come. After all, only a thousand people are thieves, and there is no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days. Fusu put all the horses in the north, and the cost would be very high. Huge, coupled with the news that there is an enemy of Chu in the south of the Central Plains, the Xiongnu can wait for the conflicts between the two sides to fight before taking advantage of the fire, so that the chances of success are greater.But because of the hatred in the line and the fact that he already hated the life on the grassland, Ji Du desperately wanted to go back to the Central Plains, so he resolutely skipped this best plan.

Just when Mao Dun had made up his mind, suddenly the person who had just reported the matter to him rushed in again, the sweat on his face became more profuse, and his face was full of fright. Suddenly he said loudly: "Da Shanyu, something is wrong, a cavalry force of more than a thousand people suddenly appeared from the east of us and rushed towards the big tent!"

"What?" Mao Dun jumped out of his cowhide tent when he heard the words, and looked to the east.But because of the distance, he couldn't see anything, but he could vaguely hear the shouts of killing coming from a distance.Mao Dun grabbed the man and said: "What's the matter? Where did these people come from, who are they?"

"Yes...they are people from Zhongyuan. I don't know what happened. They suddenly appeared in the east less than ten miles away from here. The original herdsmen there came to ask for help after being attacked by them. Now these people from the Central Plains have chased them to our side." The man was out of breath by Mo Dun, but he still told the truth.

"Cough!" Mo Dun slammed him out, and then shouted, "Call out all the warriors who haven't guarded yet, and use our bows and sabers to show these Central Plains people some strength."

The man just woke up like a dream, and he yelled loudly. After a while, more than 200 people walked out of dozens of small tents guarding the side of the big tent.Mao Dun saw that there were only this few people, and quickly asked, "Where are my guards and other warriors?"

Ji Du leaned over to him and whispered: "Did Shan Yu forget, the others were either sent by you to find the whereabouts of these Central Plains people in various parts of the grassland, or to contact people from other tribes to attack the Central Plains together. Now there are more than 200 warriors around Shanyu."

Hearing Ji Du's words, Mao Dun suddenly remembered this matter. He had indeed sent all the people around him out, and they couldn't come for a while, his face suddenly sank.But Mao Dun is also a person who has seen big winds and waves after all. He dared to kill his father Tou Man Shanyu without the support of many people. His courage was also great.Now that this time has come, he knows that running away is looking for death, and the only way to do it is to fight the enemy.So he said to the two of them: "Wutu, Suoha, you two quickly go to the nearby tribes to find reinforcements, and the others prepare to fight with me!" The two who were named quickly jumped on their horses and headed west And then, the other Huns calmed down because Moton didn't panic, and each found a favorable place to fight.

Mao Dun said to Ji Du: "Mr. Ji, you should hide in the tent first, our people will come to rescue soon, you can rest assured." The others took out their bows and arrows and aimed at the distance, and once the attackers appeared, they would give them a head-on blow.

Sure enough, when they were just getting ready, they saw a large number of black shadows appearing from the east and running towards them.
