Qiang Qin

Updated: 2010-12-02

In Hanoi County, Fusu was very satisfied with the beginning of his attack on Chu this time. After two months of silence, they quickly took down the three counties of Dong, Chen and Dang with lightning speed. They have many more choices, and the door of Chu State has been opened for them after these three counties fell into their hands.So the next thing they have to do is to formulate a plan for how to enter Chu, so as to take down Chu with the smallest loss of troops. After all, Fusu's enemies still have the Huns in the north.

Sitting high on it, Fusu scanned the generals sitting below with his eyes, and saw smiles on their faces. is happy.Fusu finally said: "Everyone, this great victory depends on the unity of the whole army and the dedication of the soldiers, so I decided to reward all the soldiers after returning to the court, regardless of whether you went to the three counties or not. " All the generals hurriedly got up to thank them, and after Fusu signaled them all to return to their seats, he continued, "But don't forget that those three counties were actually the land of my Great Qin, and it was not the root of the Chu people, so For them, the loss of the three counties is a setback, but it will not hurt their fundamentals. The Chu army we have to deal with is still very difficult. Although they have lost a few battles, their strength is still there The number is close to [-], so we must not take it lightly." All the generals were busy saying yes.

At this time, an impatient general suddenly asked: "Your Majesty, we have now occupied the land of the three counties, how should we use our troops next? The morale of the soldiers is now high, and it is a good time to attack with victory." His voice As soon as it fell, some other generals also claimed to be right, echoing what he said.

Fusu glanced at the several important ministers around him, and motioned for them to answer this question. In the past few days, Fusu had discussed with Zhang Liang and others how to continue the attack.But before Han Xin and others could speak, Lord Canghai spoke first: "In the humble opinion of the general, we should start from these three counties and attack Sishui, Jiujiang, and Xue counties of Chu State at the same time. Once we come here, we can take down Chu land as soon as possible, and then our Huns in the north will have no chance to take advantage of it."

Fu Su looked at Tian Ba ​​and asked, "How did the general think of dividing the army into three groups?"

Cang Haijun said without hesitation: "Didn't the Chu army use this method when they attacked Daqin last time? The last general just learned their method." He scratched his scalp as he spoke.

Fu Su said with a smile: "But the general seems to have forgotten one thing, that is, the Chu people were defeated by us in the end. The division of power is weak. If the troops are divided into three groups, the enemy will definitely be defeated individually. .”

Cang Haijun shook his head and said: "I don't think so. The reason why the Chu people failed to divide their troops was because they didn't have enough troops, but my Daqin now has 20 troops, which is enough to attack from three directions at the same time. And at this time, the Chu people will definitely I was a little panicked because of the loss of the three cities, and when we saw that we were going three ways together, it would definitely hit their morale even more, so I thought we should go three ways together."

Fusu didn't expect that Lord Canghai, who has never been good at using soldiers, would come up with such a strategy today, and it was somewhat feasible under his analysis, but he had thought of this plan long ago and denied it Yes, because this is too risky. As he said, the strength of the Chu people should not be underestimated. This strategy can only be used when there is a huge difference in strength between the two sides.So Fusu asked, "What do the other generals think?"

Han Xin spoke in a timely manner: "I think our current military strength is still limited, and we must not get carried away because of temporary gains and underestimate the strength of the Chu people. It is true that advancing in three directions together can make the Chu people difficult to care about. We can concentrate on one place to launch an attack on our first army. Even if we take down the other two places, the third team will inevitably be severely damaged. At that time, the Chu people will be able to fight us with the new victory Therefore, the method of three-way march must not be used."

The other generals just heard what Cang Haijun said was very reasonable, and they all thought it should be like this, but after hearing a few words from Han Xin, they felt that it was really risky to do so, so they started discussing again.After they calmed down, Han Xin went on to say: "In my opinion, the city walls of Chu are not as strong as the city to the north, so we can attack city by city. With the strength of the Chu army, we must not dare to take all of them. The troops are concentrated in one place and the other cities are abandoned, so I suggest that we attack Xuejun, Sishui and Jiujiang as quickly as possible, as if we were attacking Dongjun and other cities."

Fu Su nodded: "This is a safe way. I wonder if the generals have other opinions?"

At this time, everyone had already seen that this method was approved by Fusu. Perhaps this plan was discussed by Fusu and the others. Since the emperor participated in the plan, they naturally would not object, so everyone praised it.

Seeing that everyone agreed with his approach, Fusu said: "Then I will order Han Xin and Meng Tian to attack Xue County with 5 horses, and then I will take other troops to Surabaya to attack with all 20 horses. After taking down Surabaya, Jiujiang must also be unable to hold on."

Han Xin and Meng Tian immediately stepped forward to take orders. After resting for a few days, the Qin army finally began to attack the Chu people with the whole army.For a while, the entire Hanoi County was full of busy soldiers of the Qin Army, which seemed to indicate to people the importance of this war.

At this time, on the grassland in the far north, Mao Dun was listening to the news that had just been sent in surprise.It only stated that the Qin army had all driven to Chu in the south, but there was no record of when they left the northern frontier.This is also the reason why the Huns did not pay attention to intelligence. In fact, they did not need to place any spies in the Central Plains, because it was always the Huns cavalry who attacked the Central Plains to plunder things. Sometimes they rely on flexible cavalry, which will not give the Central Plains people a chance to counterattack, so there is no need for any spies in the Central Plains.

But this time the situation is a bit different. Mao Dun already has a not too strong, but also very difficult opponent on the grassland——Da Dubu, Ye Ke, and he still has a strong opponent from the Central Plains caravan. After finding out that the Qin people had colluded with the Dadu Department, he was worried that the people from the Central Plains would take the opportunity to harm him.So he sent people to the Central Plains to inquire about the news.These people soon sent the first piece of information, that is, the army of the Qin people had all moved to the edge of the grassland, and it seemed that they were about to attack themselves, which made Maodun really nervous for a while.Then they sent the news that the Chu people attacked Qin, and then the Qin people withdrew some troops to rescue, which made Mao Dun think that God was helping him.Then the spies stopped sending any more news, and just when Mao Dun thought they had been captured by the Qin people, the third news also came, that the Qin people had already mobilized the whole country to attack Chu.At this time, the battle between Qin and Chu has already started.

"Why did you send the news so late?" Mo Dun angrily asked the spy who brought the news.

The man looked at Maodun timidly, and then said: "We dare not get too close to the pass of the Central Plains, we will only know when they mobilize a lot of troops. The previous few times the Qin people were very powerful, So we are all aware of their movements, but this time they mobilized their troops very carefully, not letting us know at all, so..."

"Then why do you know now?" Mo Dun stared at him and asked.

"It's only because we caught a hunter who came to the grassland and learned from him that there are less than [-] people in the border town, so we rushed to report to Shan Yu."

Mao Dun waved his hand and said, "Go down." After he left, Mao Dun looked at Ji Du and said, "Mr. Ji, do you think this is true? Qin Jun has really rushed to Chudi?"

Ji Du pondered for a while and said: "I think this should be true. I was wondering why the Qin people transferred their troops to the edge of my grassland but did not move. Now I understand. It turns out that their purpose is not with us but with us. The Chu people in the south, the reason why they sent troops to the north is to lure the Chu people to attack."

Mao Dun said angrily: "It's unreasonable, they just put on a show, so I don't dare to fight the Dadu tribe with all my strength, otherwise the Dadu tribe and those small tribes who supported him would have been killed by me. The army has been flattened. Pass on my order, let all the troops attack the Dadu Department, and they must be defeated within two months!"

Ji Du could only smile wryly on the sidelines. This time Qin Ren's actions were even concealed from himself. If it wasn't for a coincidence that the spies caught a Central Plains man, they might still be wary of the Qin Renhui and the Dadu tribe. They attack themselves back and forth.

With the disclosure of this news, the original delicate balance on the grassland was finally completely broken, and the biggest war on the grassland began.

At this time, Han Xin and the others had captured Xue County.Xue County's defense was weaker than Han Xin and the others had expected. After they attacked with 5 troops for two days, the city was destroyed.Han Xin was walking on the streets of Xuejun, and said to Meng Tian: "It seems that the people of Chu are indeed low in morale. My fifty thousand troops have already taken down this city before doing their best. It will all fall into the hands of my Great Qin within a month."

Meng Tian's face was not relaxed. He heard the words and said: "I always feel that the Chu people are hiding their strength. Don't you see that there are not many Chu troops defending the city? And they didn't stop for a while when the city was broken. , fled south immediately, I am afraid there is an army of Chu people waiting for us in front of us."

Han Xin woke up from his complacency after hearing this, and nodded deeply: "I have seen that Xiang Yu before, and he is very good at using troops. It is true that he will not be defeated by us just like this. But it is also necessary to take it down now." Well, at least we have a foothold in Chudi."
