The Summoning World of the Great Qin Empire

Chapter 1685

From Jianmen to the south, there are still many passes, but in terms of danger, they are completely inferior to Jianmen Pass.

Deng Yu was also a little disheartened, and directly commanded the remnant soldiers back to Chengdu, and began to deploy them seriously.

Qin State is now a fierce tiger that chooses people to eat, and Chengdu is a piece of fat placed on the edge of Qin people.

"The statistics of the troops in the army are here. There are 16 people, and there is not much loss." Mr. Caotang pondered: "The biggest loss is that when the Jianmen Pass was blown up, the elite of our army died instantly. A lot, especially... especially the sharp archers, almost all of them are dead."

Deng Yu was silent for a quarter of an hour before he opened his mouth and said, "I should have thought of these problems at the beginning, but the strength of the Qin people has far exceeded my expectations, and no one in the army can resist Li Cunxiao and Huang Feihu. These fierce generals, do you have any good strategies to defeat the enemy?"

Mr. Caotang poured tea for Deng Yu, then poured tea for himself, then sat down, picked up the tea gracefully, and took a sip slowly.

"My lord, let's not talk about this first, let me talk about my own situation first."

Deng Yu was a little puzzled, so he picked up the messenger, took a breath, and said, "What do you mean, sir? Is it possible that you want to leave me?"

"Haha..." Mr. Caotang laughed loudly: "Why did the lord make such a statement? If I only want to be with the lord for glory and wealth, will I lack these things?"

Deng Yu said in embarrassment, "Then I don't know what the master means?"

"My lord, have you ever thought about surrendering to Qin?"

"This?" Deng Yu's complexion changed abruptly, and he said sharply, "This is absolutely impossible!"

"It is also impossible in my opinion." Mr. Cao Tang sighed: "I just never thought that gunpowder has such a powerful power."

Deng Yu looked at Mr. Caotang's face, and continued: "So, sir, it's better not to persuade me to surrender to Qin."

"That's a strategy that can turn defeat into victory. As for whether the lord can succeed, I can't guarantee it."

Deng Yu put down his teacup and bowed down: "Please teach me, sir, I will definitely follow him as a teacher!"

"How dare you!" Mr. Caotang lowered his hem, helped Deng Yu up, and said seriously: "It's just that this strategy is very risky, and the possibility of success is very low..."

"Sir, let's talk about it." Deng Yu looked puzzled.

Mr. Caotang sighed, "Forget it, it is simply impossible to wait for the reinforcements from the south to arrive now, so according to a certain family, we have to take a detour!"

"Detour?" Deng Yu frowned, doesn't that mean he didn't say anything?
"It is true that there is only a detour." Mr. Caotang was not sure, and his tone became stern: "Detour is the best way. There is a saying in the art of war: what is empty is real, and what is real is empty! From the perspective of the people of Qin, right now, We really have no other choice but to stick to Chengdu, and of course there is a way to surrender, since the lord is unwilling, then I won’t mention it anymore.”

"So, the way we put in front of us is to take the mountain road from Chengdu, find a mountain road by ourselves, go around behind the Qin army, and cut off the Qin army's supply line. In this way, it won't take long. There will be chaos without fighting, and when the time comes, the two sides will respond to each other and attack head to tail, no matter how fierce this Qin army is, it will still die without a place to die!"

Hearing Deng Yu's enthusiasm for some strategies, before he could speak, Mr. Caotang continued: "However, the implementation of this strategy is already very difficult. First of all, we have to block the frontal troops of the Qin Army on the Jinniu Road outside Chengdu. Attack... oh!

The ridiculous thing is that our army is now on the verge of collapsing with the Qin army. How could it be possible to withstand it on the frontal battlefield?So I said, my lord, this is basically impossible. If someone in our army can stop Li Cunxiao and his ilk, this method will naturally work. "

Deng Yu said helplessly: "There has been a saying in the art of war since ancient times: generals are wise but not brave. Why is it a different scene now?"

"Precisely because one person can influence the whole battle situation, it is too rare. Look at how many people can be as brave as Xiang Yu through the ages?" Mr. Caotang said seriously: "Because I am not an insider, I can see clearly, Xiang Yu His bravery is unrivaled throughout the ages!"

"Sir, it's a bit exaggerated to say that." As a subject of the Shu Kingdom, Deng Yu naturally favored Li Yuanba in his heart. When comparing Li Yuanba and Xiang Yu, he subconsciously felt that Li Yuanba was stronger.

"Back then, King Xiang had already fought against General Yuanba, who was stronger and who was weaker, in the hearts of the two of them, and in the hearts of the people of the world, there was already a sense of proportion, so why should my lord persist like this?"

When Xiang Yu fought against Li Yuanba in person, the outcome had already been determined. Otherwise, why would the Shu Kingdom lose the two counties of Bashu and have to go south to occupy Nanyue?
Deng Yu was a smart person, and he could already hear some meaning from Mr. Caotang's tone.

"Is it true that surrender is the only way to go?" Deng Yu hesitated.

"Report! Marshal, Jiazhou is in a hurry! Jiang Song of Chu sent troops to the north to attack Jiazhou!"

At this time, the sound of hurried footsteps came into the room accompanied by panicked shouts.

Deng Yu didn't read the documents first, but just glanced at the faces of the soldiers who were pale with fright, and he knew that the Shu army had no will to fight bravely.

"The building is about to fall, how can it be possible to turn the tide?" Mr. Caotang took the paperwork and waved his hand: "Get back!"

The panicked soldiers retreated a few steps, froze in place, and raised their heads to look at Deng Yu.

This soldier had followed Deng Yu for many years, Deng Yu couldn't bear to scold him, so he nodded and asked, "What else is there?"

"Putong——" the soldiers knelt down and worshiped: "Master, there are rumors in the city that the emperor of Qin will lead the army in a short time, and they also say that in Chengdu, the old Qin has the most people." , they will definitely stand up and respond to the Emperor of Qin, sir, we..."

"Suck--"

Deng Yu gasped, stood up, walked a few steps in the room, and said coldly, "Who said all this?"

"I don't know... rumors are spreading in the city... I don't know when it started!"

"Go down, just keep your mouth shut!" Deng Yu wanted to say something, but Mr. Caotang had already waved his hand, embarrassing a servant, it should not be something the Generalissimo would do.

"Boom!"

Deng Yu slammed his fist on the desk, and said sadly: "I...have been abandoned by His Majesty, and considered an abandoned son?"

"Ah!" Mr. Caotang sighed, and he sighed three times, brought the tea cup to his mouth, but couldn't drink it, and put it on the desk again: "Marshal, the emperor is already in danger, Bodao City... ...Jiangzhou City, surrounded Jiangyang City in the middle, Your Majesty is also powerless, this will make you sad, but I still want to say, we... let's surrender!"
