Qin Emperor Ziying

Chapter 149 Three Strategies to Destroy Chu

"I said that the attack is not to send troops to attack Chu, but outside the battlefield." Seeing that the fire is almost here, Ziying continued: "Although the victory rate is quite high in attacking Chu at this time, our army will suffer heavy losses, and the gains outweigh the losses. and also."

"Your Highness, the purpose of our expedition is to conquer Chu, how can we be afraid of casualties and hold back?" The veteran general Meng Wu spoke.

Hearing Ziying's words, Wang Jian finally breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Ziying does not support sending troops at this time, there is room for maneuver in this matter.

However, many of the generals of the Qin army who had been holding back for more than half a year did not quite understand.

Ziying also understood the desire of the generals to fight, but this is indeed not the best time to attack Chu.

"Gentlemen, Chu State is different from our Great Qin Dynasty. It must support these hundreds of thousands of troops without production. It must be short of food and fodder. The spies of the Chu army captured by our army have also proved this point.

In the current Chu army, even basic training is difficult to guarantee.Under the ebb and flow, it can be said that every day of delay, the combat power of the Chu people will weaken by one point, and the casualties of our Qin army in the decisive battle will be smaller.

As the generals of the Qin army, what we want is not just to win the battle, but to win with the least casualties. These 60 Qin troops are all my sons and daughters of the Qin army, and they cannot be sacrificed on this battlefield in vain! "

Ziying stood up and spoke sincerely to the generals present.

After Wang Jian listened, he also nodded slightly. What Ziying said was exactly what he thought in his heart. If the 60 Qin army confessed here, even if they won the final victory, there would not be many soldiers in Qin who could fight. .

The kingdoms are newly destroyed, and the aristocratic forces in the territory have been seeking to restore the country. The rebellion in Xinzheng the year before last is an example. At this time, the remnants of the eastern countries will never let this opportunity go. It is possible that the land conquered by the previous kings in the past few decades will be empty in one day.

"But when will we wait!" Xin Sheng said angrily as he punched the ground.

He was originally a quick-tempered person, these days, the people of Chu were yelling and cursing in front of the camp every day, and the scolding became more and more ugly. If it wasn't for the military order, he would have led his troops to the Chu camp.

"Wait until the most suitable opportunity!" Ziying said decisively: "Chu's political system is not the same as that of our country. Everything depends on the king. There are many kings and tribal leaders in the country. There must be a change, and this is the moment for our army to attack."

Ziying's analysis, although the generals of the Qin army in the tent are still unwilling, they also know that the decisive battle is indeed not the best time, and it is obvious that the most prominent generals in the army Wang Jian and Chang'an Jun Zhao Ziying are both With this meaning, the tent fell silent, and no one spoke.

"I don't know what your majesty means when you say that you are outside the battlefield?" It was the young general Li Xin who spoke. Listening quietly most of the time.

When the generals were speechless, Li Xin, who had been listening quietly, remembered Ziying's words "outside the battlefield" in the early days, so he asked aloud.

As soon as Li Xin spoke, he immediately attracted everyone's attention. If it weren't for Li Xin's "speaking" this time, the generals in the tent would have almost forgotten that this name was once a rising star in Qin.

Seeing that it was Li Xin who asked the question, Ziying smiled and looked at Li Xin who was kneeling at the edge of the entrance of the tent, gave Li Xin an encouraging look, and said with an inscrutable smile: "Gu also knows that all the generals I can't hold back anymore, so we can promote the change of Chu State from the side as soon as possible."

"I don't know what strategy Chang'an has?" Wang Jian couldn't help but said when he heard this.

Wang Jian has a deep understanding of Ziying's flamboyant guts. In his eyes, if Ziying doesn't make a move, someone will be in trouble if he does.

"Qi and Chu Xiang have suspicions, and the people of Qi kissed me Daqin, the general can send someone to write to the king, asking the king to lead Qi, and tell the king of Qi, just like destroying Chu and wanting to share the world with him.

Qi Wangjian is incompetent, and the court is even more treacherous after the king and queen. Qi Wangjian must believe it and send troops to attack Chu. Chu has no other available soldiers in the country. In order to protect itself, the army must be transferred to the east. At this time, our army Taking advantage of the trend will get twice the result with half the effort. "

With a sound of "pong", everyone looked for the reputation, it was the case of the army commander Wang Jian beating the commander with his hand.

"I'm going to write a letter to Xianyang, please send an envoy to the state of Qi." After Wang Jian finished speaking, he stared at Ziying and continued, "This is the intention of Lord Chang'an. Can you write a letter with me?"

"It's what you want." Ziying said with a smile.

Ziying had already talked about this strategy in front of all the generals of the Qin army, so it was naturally not good to refuse Wang Jian's kindness.

After saying this, Ziying continued: "The general can send people into the Chu territory to spread rumors, or Xiang Yan wants to support his troops to stand on his own, or the King of Chu wants to cut down the soldiers of the king, so it can't be said that the people of Chu are in chaos."

As soon as Ziying finished speaking, all the generals in the tent felt a little upset. What is the most worrying thing for the generals?
Naturally, it was the king's suspicion, even if it was like Wang Jian's baby, he tried his best to alleviate Qin King's suspicion.

Xiang Yan, who alone commanded the 60 troops of the Chu State, was probably under more pressure than Ziying Wang Jian. No matter how much the Chu King believed in him, it was impossible not to worry about his actions on the front line. People become tigers, and there are too many rumors. It is impossible for King Chu's trust in Xiang Yan to remain unshaken.

However, the princes and tribes, large and small, in the state of Chu are most worried about their little army, which will be taken away by the king of Chu.As soon as this rumor came out, it directly hit their sore spot. These people will not remain indifferent, and will definitely use their influence in the country to put pressure on the King of Chu.

Wang Jian is quite used to this strategy of Ziying's. It is not the first time he and Ziying have worked together, and he has a deep understanding of Ziying's strategy. Is a stick to kill.

Such a series of tricks is like Ziying's handwriting.

Immediately ordered to select hundreds of intelligent people to sneak into all parts of Chu State to spread rumors.

At this moment, all the generals of the Qin army no longer demanded a decisive battle with the Chu army. Once Lord Chang'an's plan was implemented, he would surely be able to eat up the more than 60 Chu army with minimal casualties.

At this point in the military discussion, all the generals have basically unified their opinions. When Wang Jian was about to announce the end of the military discussion, he never thought that Ziying would say again: "Ying still has a discussion, please agree to it, General."

"Mr. Chang'an, it's okay to say it!" Although Wang Jian didn't know what kind of ghost Ziying had in mind, it would not be harmful to the Qin army.

"I ask the general to give an order. From today on, the generals will take turns to attack as a large army every day." Ziying said with a smile.

Veteran Meng Wu continued to ask: "What does Mr. Chang'an mean?"

Just now I said that it is not suitable for a decisive battle with the Chu army at this time, and Ziying will pull the army out again in a blink of an eye, these two statements immediately made him a little dizzy.

However, Wang Jian was thoughtful after hearing this, and asked softly, "Could Lord Chang'an's intention be a plan to exhaust the soldiers?"

"That's right, the Chu army is short of food, but the soldiers must be fed when fighting. If our army harasses the Chu army every day and waits for it, we can immediately retreat to the camp. If the Chu army has not eaten enough, the army will relax. , you can take a bite and run.

This will not only keep the Chu army in a tense state from time to time, but also greatly consume the Chu army's insufficient food reserves.

It can also pave the way for the whole army to attack in the later stage of our army, and play a surprise effect. "Ziying said calmly.
