Qiang Qin

Updated: 2010-11-30

After Fusu gave an order, people in the whole of Daqin began to move. Most of the defenders in various counties and counties were transferred out, and some people who should have served in the military were also conscripted into the army at the same time. Among them, in just half a month, more than 20 horses have been assembled, plus the tens of thousands of horses who are still waiting in Hanoi on the edge of Chu, Daqin really did his best this time, The 20 horses of the whole country were dispatched to destroy Chu.Originally, the strength of Qin State was far from this, but after years of wars and civil strife, Qin Shihuang's millions of troops were finally tossed down to the remaining [-] troops, but these [-] remaining Qin troops They are the most elite group of people in the Qin army, so Fusu doesn't think that these [-] troops will not be able to destroy the Chu State with an army of more than [-].

Because the weather is already very hot, the whole army is not moving very fast, and Fusu seems not in a hurry to let the army rush to the big counties in the south, so his [-] imperial guards are all It is morning and evening on the road, and during the day they set up tents to rest.This point puzzled some of the accompanying generals and Zhang Liang.Finally, after walking for nearly half a month, Lord Canghai couldn't bear it any longer, so he tactfully raised it to Fusu.

Ever since Fusu proclaimed himself emperor, Lord Canghai has also become a general guarding Xianyang City, but his burly figure and anxious temper have not restrained in the slightest. Even when talking to the emperor, his voice did not let go Low: "Your Majesty, I feel that our army should rush to the south as soon as possible, so that we can launch an attack on Chu as soon as possible. If not, the Chu people will make all preparations, and it will be difficult for us to attack them. Guishen speed, Your Majesty!"

Fusu glanced at Lord Canghai's clothes that were loosened due to the heat, and then looked at the other generals who were deeply impressed by the heat, and laughed: "Haha, you saw that I ordered all the people in Daqin to gather, and Did I immediately leave Xianyang with 3 people and think that I will attack Chu immediately?" Seeing that these people nodded, Fusu continued, "That's right, this is what I want Even if you think that I will launch an attack on Chu in a short period of time, the Chu people will certainly do the same. They should be already preparing how to arrange their troops at various key points to stop my Great Qin. Let’s go to the army. But I’m not in a hurry to go to Chu to fight the Chu people, I want to wear down their energy first, and when they start to relax, our army can attack.”

Everyone had expressions of disbelief on their faces, they couldn't figure out why Fusu would do this.If it is just to drag down the will of the Chu army, there is no need for everyone to come out of Xianyang under the scorching sun.Peng Hong also hesitated for a while and said: "Your Majesty, I only know how to pursue the enemy while we are in victory. We have just defeated the Chu army in the three counties. Their morale must be unstable. If we attack Chu at the fastest speed People, they will definitely not have time to make the most appropriate response, can't my Daqin army take down a few counties of Chu people in one fell swoop?"

Fusu shook his head and said: "You only know one thing but not the other. Although the Chu army was defeated this time, only the one that attacked Yingchuan suffered a greater loss among the three groups, and the other two groups retreated safely. There are also many generals in the army who are good at using troops. Don't they understand the principle of pursuing the enemy while taking advantage of the victory? Once they retreat to Chu, they will definitely leave their troops in a dangerous place to prevent our army from attacking. The enemy, I'm afraid it's just to let our army beat the enemy in terms of momentum, and the real blow to the Chu army will not be too great. And now there is an extremely disadvantageous situation for Chu's use of troops against our Daqin soldiers..." Said Fu Su stopped and looked at Zhang Liang, as if he was waiting for him to pick up his words.

Zhang Liang already understood Fusu's intention at this time, and then he said: "Is the emperor referring to the hot weather today? Yes, it is very hot now, and most of our troops are recruited from the north and the Central Plains. Unaccustomed to the extreme heat in the south, even walking a certain distance under the sun is already unbearable, let alone fighting the Chu army under such a scorching sun. But the Chu army is not the same, they all grew up in the south People, I have long been used to such intense heat, if the two armies go to war, our Qin army may not be the opponent of the Chu army."

Fusu nodded in satisfaction: "That's right, Zifang has already seen my intentions. This is the second reason why I made a big fuss this time but didn't rush to Chudi. I'm going to stay until after the summer Only then did the army launch an attack on the Chu land. By then, the weather had begun to turn cold, and the vigor of the Chu army had been exhausted. I, the generals of the Qin Dynasty, took advantage of this opportunity to attack. Moreover, I did not intend to march all the way. Walking can make the soldiers' feelings deeper, and when the battle begins, everyone's cooperation will be more tacit. Therefore, on the way to the south, you should train more. When the weather cools down, our army will attack Chu. It's time to land." The generals hurriedly took orders.In this way, the Qin army on the road no longer had suspicions, and as the Qin army behind them continued to catch up, the number of Fusu troops gradually increased, and it was already late June.

At this time in Hanoi County, Meng Tian and Han Xin also knew the news that Fusu was going to send troops to attack Chu, and they had gathered all the soldiers who could still fight together for training to prepare for the next battle against Chu. .But after they waited for more than ten days, the children saw that some soldiers of the Qin army came from other counties, but they did not wait for Fusu and his relatives, which made them very puzzled.

After training the soldiers that day, Han Xin and Meng Tian stood together.Han Xin said: "The time between General Meng and the emperor is the longest. Can you guess what the emperor thinks now? He said that he would attack Chu with a large army, but many troops from farther away have arrived one after another, but the emperor's The army has not yet arrived, should we wait like this? The people of Chu have already got the news, if this continues, they will be able to deploy more and more troops."

Meng Tian was also very confused, but he firmly believed that Fusu's actions must have a reason, so he said: "General Han, the emperor's decree is just to order people from all over the country to rush to the south, but he didn't say that they will go to the south immediately." To use troops against Chu, maybe the emperor has his intentions. As generals, we only need to do things according to the will. Once the war starts, it is time for us to show our strengths. What we are doing now is that the soldiers are trained more The elite, so that the speed of this attack on Chu will be faster."

Han Xin took a look at Meng Tian, ​​and admired Meng Tian for his loyalty, so he couldn't offer any other opinions in the end.

However, as soldiers and horses from all over the country continued to rush to Hanoi County, Han Xin’s doubts appeared again, just because many of the people who came this time were cavalry, not only tens of thousands of soldiers came, but also tens of thousands of horses , the daily consumption is doubling.Even Meng Tian couldn't think of a reason for this, so he could only persuade Han Xin not to worry too much, and he would let them understand when Fusu came.

Amid such doubts, on the third day of the seventh lunar month, Fusu finally arrived in Hanoi County with 8 horses.Because of the long delay on the road, some troops from the north also caught up with Fusu's troops on the way, and Fusu naturally merged them into his own troops without making them rush. Head south.In this way, when they arrived in Hanoi County, Fusu's 3 horses expanded to 8 people.And along the way, Fusu did not rest, and kept breaking up and rearranging all the people and horses, and then carried out training. In this way, when the [-] people rushed to Hanoi, they had already cooperated tacitly, and they could not see it at all. They are composed of soldiers from many different counties.

Meng Tian and Meng Tian went out of the city to welcome Fusu into Hanoi County. Fusu looked at the newly built Hanoi City and nodded frequently.Although the city is not as large as before, it is still on an important road. The city wall is made of rammed earth, which is very strong, which is the characteristic of the city in this era.As Fusu walked into the city, he asked Meng Tian about the situation of the people who came from other counties these days, and Meng Tian answered them all one by one.

When Fusu asked them what difficulties they had, Han Xin finally raised the two questions he had kept in his heart.Fu Su chuckled: "General Han finally couldn't bear it anymore. As soon as I saw you, I realized that you had something to say to me. It turned out to be for this matter." Fu Su told Zhang Liang and the others What he said was told to Han Xin and the two of them, "So although our army has arrived here, it is not the time to use troops against Chu."

Han Xin understood Fusu's explanation very well, and he even blamed himself for being so stupid, and then he asked a second question: "Your Majesty, although Hanoi County has grain and grass from all over Daqin, but it is not enough to let so many war horses Is it too wasteful to stay here? We are going to attack Chu, but if we want to attack the city, the cavalry can't play much role here."

Fusu smiled and shook his head: "You are wrong, this time I not only transferred all the cavalry of our Great Qin to this place, but also brought out the armored cavalry who had never fought against the enemy on the battlefield. It is expected that the war with the Chu people will inevitably be outside the city, and we will rely on our cavalry and armored cavalry to win by surprise."

"What?" Both Han Xin and Meng Tian stayed there. They really didn't expect that Fusu would transfer all the cavalry here. I don't know why he had such confidence that this battle would definitely be in the city. outside.
