Qiang Qin

Updated: 2010-12-26

After taking down the three counties, Xiang Yu's army didn't suddenly disappear without a trace. They planned to save their strength first, but they had already attacked Hanoi County at the fastest speed.At this time, the number of Qin troops staying in Hanoi was less than that of the Chu army's three-way invasion that day, but the last time Fusu and others deliberately let the Chu army attack and prepared well, so the Chu army did not win. , but this time the situation is different.The thousands of Qin soldiers who stayed behind had no idea that so many Chu troops would suddenly come over from the Chu land that Fusu had already occupied, but they were defeated in the first battle, and Hanoi County fell into Xiang Yu's hands.

But because Fusu was attacking Kuaiji at this time, the pigeons couldn't find their location at all, and the Qin people wanted to spread the news there, but because the three counties were under Xiang Yu's control, there was no way to find them. As a result, Fusu's army was completely unaware of such a big thing happening behind him.In this way, there are advantages and disadvantages. The good thing is that the whole army did not mess up because the back was cut off by the Chu army, and continued to take down General Ji with high morale, thus winning the final victory over Chu.But the disadvantages are also obvious. Now when Fusu leads the army back, he is completely unaware of the situation of the Chu army. From the perspective of military tactics, he has fallen into a passive position.

But Fusu's ignorance of the affairs here doesn't mean that the people of Qin don't know about it. For example, Chen Ping, who stayed in Xianyang, has already received news from various places, and now he is also mixed.In fact, Chen Ping is the only one who can really call the shots in Xianyang City. Although he is nominally assisting the prince Yingwei to sit here, what can a two-year-old child do?As for the other officials, either they were short of kilometers, or they were originally from Hu Haishi, they didn't have much power at all, so all the heavy responsibilities fell on Chen Ping's shoulders.

Looking at the last news from Hanoi, Chen Ping frowned even more. There was nothing he could do about this accident.Since the death of Qin Shihuang, the state of Qin can be said to have attacked from all directions, and the elders of the six countries suddenly rushed out. Coupled with the appearance of Fusu and the invasion of the Huns in the north, the vitality of the state of Qin was greatly injured.Although those rebellious people were finally wiped out one by one, the original millions of soldiers in Daqin were also killed and injured.But for the unification of the world, Fusu resolutely took all the remaining troops of Daqin to deal with the Chu people, which made the counties in the hinterland of the Central Plains completely empty.Now there are only ten thousand people in Xianyang City, let alone other counties.And the only one who could propose the arrival of horses was the northern frontier, but the situation there was not clear to the Xiongnu, Chen Ping didn't dare to take the risk and let Zhou Xing, Meng Yi and others bring and save the Central Plains from there.So Chen Ping, who is now available as a soldier, has become helpless, and it is difficult for a clever woman to cook for rice.

At this time, the officials who stayed in Xianyang were all looking at Chen Ping, waiting for him to make a final decision on how to deal with Xiang Yu, a team that had penetrated into the Central Plains.Chen Ping put the silk book in his hand on top of the case, raised his eyebrows and said: "Although the current situation is very unfavorable to us, in fact, this Chu army is not good, they just occupied my city That's all, but they don't have the guarantee of logistics, and now even their own Kuaiji has been taken down by the emperor's army. Now as long as the soldiers of our cities can defend wholeheartedly, the Chu people will not be able to attack a few cities at all. When the emperor arrives with a large victorious army, the tens of thousands of Chu troops will surely be defeated and wiped out by us in the end, so there is no need for everyone to worry."

As soon as Chen Ping expressed his opinion, someone raised an objection: "Master Prime Minister, the problem now is that the defenders in my cities in the Central Plains are only a few thousand, and when they saw the Chu army attacking, they panicked, and there is no way to fight them to the death. .When the enemy is several times larger than me and suddenly appeared in front of the city, our army really can't fight them. I'd better ask the prime minister to order the two generals Zhou and Meng from the north to send troops to help, so that we can still Guard the other cities, otherwise..."

"No!" The man's words were interrupted by Chen Ping before he finished, "Although the Huns in the north are still in civil strife, according to the news obtained these days, Maodun has already gained the upper hand. It is possible to defeat Ye Ke and other small tribes and completely unify the grassland, and our troops in the north cannot leave at this time."

"Your Excellency, there is no need to worry that the Huns will send troops to us after the civil strife. After all, they will also die in this civil strife. By then, it will be the end of their strength. Of course, recovery is the first priority, so how can they rush into us? What about the Central Plains? So our troops in the north can take this opportunity to return to the Central Plains to resist the attack of the Chu people." Another official put forward his own opinion.

"What you are talking about is just the behavior of our countries in the Central Plains, but the practice on the grassland is completely different." Chen Ping shook his head and said, "After this chaos, the Xiongnu must be in short supply of cattle and sheep this year, and winter It has already arrived. Under such circumstances, if they want to survive this winter, they must come to our Central Plains to plunder. So although they have just finished the civil war, they will still bring troops to my Central Plains. The garrison retreated halfway back to the center. It turned out that the Huns could easily break through our defense line and come in*. How many people will die at the hands of the Huns. So I absolutely cannot promise to transfer the troops there Come in."

Others also felt that what Chen Ping said was somewhat reasonable, so they no longer proposed to transfer the frontier troops from the north, but the problem was still not resolved. Everyone still looked at Chen Ping: "If so, what should I do in the cities of the Central Plains?" What should I do?"

Chen Ping pondered for a while, and then said: "I have two ways, all of you can help me."

When everyone heard that Chen Ping had come up with a countermeasure so quickly, they all looked at him expectantly, waiting for him to come up with a solution.Chen Ping couldn't help showing a wry smile when he saw the eyes of everyone, and said: "The first method is what I just said, let the soldiers of each city swear to defend the city, my country of Qin now has dozens of cities in the Central Plains, It is not so easy for the Chu army to successfully attack, and we can let people spread the news that the emperor has broken Kuaiji to all the cities to boost morale, and let the Chu army know about it, so as to blow their morale."

When everyone heard that Chen Ping's so-called first method was actually the same, they were not very interested, but they still supported his idea of ​​spreading the news of Fusu's victory. Spread to all cities at the fastest speed.

After they all calmed down, Chen Ping continued: "But as everyone said, our cities are indeed far inferior to the Chu army in terms of military strength. Even if the morale is high, we may not be able to defend it, so I think we should take the risk. Dangerous." Speaking of which, Chen Ping's voice paused, "That is to withdraw the defenders of several cities to important cities such as Sanchuan in the back. Abandon the front cities and concentrate the troops on one point for defense. We will not be much less than the Chu army, and Sanchuan and other cities will naturally be able to resist the Chu army's footsteps from the west."

When all the officials heard Chen Ping's bold idea, their eyes were rounded, and their faces were full of disbelief. They never dared to hand over the city of Daqin to the people of Chu like this. Unexpectedly, Chen Ping said that he was better than the north. The army transferred to an even more unimaginable method.However, there are still some smart people among them who saw the beauty of this strategy, because since they intend to withdraw the troops, they can even take away the people and the supplies in the city. Empty city, this is not a loss to the people of Qin, so those who want to understand this point agree.

But the vast majority of officials refused to agree with Chen Ping's latter method. They didn't want Fusu to face the emperor's fury when he came back, so in the end this method was put in a backup position, while the previous method was still used by everyone just now. The method that is not too satisfactory has been recognized by everyone.

Pigeons flew to all the cities with the news that Fusu had broken Kuaiji in Chu, and with them were the death orders given by the current imperial court to the generals of the cities-to defend the cities no matter what, The Chu army should not be allowed to come in easily.And the delivery of this news has indeed greatly encouraged Qin Jun, who was panicked when he saw the sudden appearance of the Chu army, because they believed that it would not be long before Fusu would lead the army to kill him from behind. Then you can attack these invading Chu people back and forth with the emperor's army.

After taking down Hanoi, Xiang Yu took a short rest and ordered the army to continue marching towards the next target, Hedong County.This time, it was so easy to take down a city that could not be conquered with all their efforts that day, which greatly encouraged the Chu army.However, Xiang Yu and other generals still felt that it was not good for them. Because of the lack of logistical support, there was not much food and grass left in the army, and some siege equipment was also lost in the process of attacking Hanoi. I don't know if this Hedong can be taken down smoothly.

The army came to Hedong smoothly, but the Chu army found that the defenders here were obviously more organized than the Qin people in Hanoi, which made the Chu army who marched here in a hurry dare not launch an attack on the city immediately.After Xiang Yu ordered the army to settle down, he raised his eyes to look at the city wall of Hedong. He couldn't understand why the defenders here had such a strong fighting spirit. He thought that the Qin army who defended the city without backup should have been panicked. . "There must be something strange in it." Xiang Yu finally came to a conclusion, but he knew that time was not waiting for him, and he would still try his best to take down the city when the next day dawned.Because Xiang Yu was already going all out this time, he would throw Ji Ji aside, no matter what he came with his troops, he wanted to take Xianyang down.
