Chapter 583 Open Pocket
Jiangdong, Yue Guoji County.

Along the coast of the general, a large-scale city has sprung up.

This city is the newly built Jinling City ordered by the King of Yue. It is said that Qin Shihuang visited this place and saw the king's spirit here, so he buried gold and died.Therefore, King Yin Xu of Yue ordered the construction of Jinling City here as the frontline base for the Yue Kingdom's northern expedition to Huainan.Yin Xu also knew clearly that after thousands of years, Jinling City would become famous all over the world.

Today's Jinling City is almost built next to the big river, and outside the city is the wharf of the Yue Kingdom Navy.Originally, Yin Xu also planned to build a commercial wharf here, and make Jinling City a commercial center and material distribution center along the east of the Yangtze River.However, the time is limited, and it is not yet too late. At this time, it cannot be accomplished overnight, and it can only be done gradually.What's more, it is still necessary to use this as a base to start the Northern Expedition, and it will inevitably be invaded by war, so these things have to be postponed for a later time.

Today, there are many ships moored on the wharf outside Jinling City, many of which are large-scale warships.Vietnam is famous for its shipping, and its water transportation capacity is second to none.

On the leading warship at the pier, an extraordinary man stood proudly at the bow, looking up into the distance.A pair of heroic eyes stared at the vast land in the north, and the eyes became more and more deep...

"My lord, the main force of the navy and ships have all gathered here. All the food and grass have been transported to Jinling City, and an army of [-] has assembled here."

The man at the bow was the king of Yue, Yin Xu. The dispatch of troops from Jiangdong to Huainan this time was of great importance to the war against the Western Chu Kingdom. Yin Xu paid special attention to this, so he rushed to the front line to supervise the battle in person.At this time, he was on the wharf outside Jinling City, inspecting the state of the navy's preparations for war.

It was Zhang Han, the general of Yue who came to report the news, the commander of the Vietnamese army in the battle of Huainan.Yin Xu only came to supervise the battle, and Zhang Han was still responsible for leading the army in a serious battle.As a qualified commander, he must understand the situation on the front line as soon as possible.

"Okay, very good, when can we send troops?" Yin Xu was very satisfied with these preparations, and then asked about sending troops.The matter is of great importance, and it is best to be able to prepare as soon as possible. Yin Xu is particularly concerned about these matters.

"You can send troops at any time..." Zhang Han said here, and then hesitated a little: "Your Majesty, I have some ideas about sending troops..."

"What do you think?" Yin Xu still attaches great importance to the opinions of the general and the frontline commander.

Then Zhang Han said: "Your Majesty, I just got the news that the Chu army in Huainan is also fully prepared and plans to send troops across the river."

"So what?" Yin Xu asked about the following.

Zhang Han continued: "Feiying got the news that there are some problems among the generals of the Chu army in Huainan, and it seems that they can be exploited."

"What's the problem?" Yin Xu asked with interest, looking for breakthroughs from the inside of the opponent is his usual method.

Zhang Han explained: "There are two issues worth noting. First, Huan Chu, the general of the Chu army in Huainan, was at odds with Zhou Yin;

"What does the general mean?" Yin Xu had vaguely guessed Zhang Han's intention.

Zhang Han said: "Since the Chu army has sent troops, let's send troops to cover the water and soil!"

Yin Xu has fully understood, so naturally he will not object, and said with a smile: "In this case, then please the general to deal with it!"

"Yes! I have given the king a beautiful explanation!" Zhang Han replied confidently.

"That's good!" Yin Xu is still very confident about this, Huan Chu is no match for Zhang Han at all, not to mention that he is still so impatient and careless now, and he can't blame others for the good opportunity last time.

"By the way, how is the situation in the north? Have Liu Bang, Han Xin, and Peng Yue made any moves?" Yin Xu asked about the situation in the north. The battle in Huainan must be carried out in coordination with the north.To be honest, Yin Xu is also worried about being tricked by Liu Bang, so he must act cautiously.Fortunately, there is Feiying in Yue State, who can get news from the north in time, without worrying about being deceived.

Zhang Han reported: "Feiying has news that Han Xin and Peng Yue are still standing still. However, Liu Bang has launched an attack on Xiang Yu's troops. Fan Kui and Zhou Bo led an army to raid Xiang Yu's camp. The Chu army suffered heavy casualties. At present, the Chu and Han armies are already fighting in the north. The first stop of the Han army was a surprise attack, and now they have lost the opportunity. They may not be Xiang Yu's opponent. At present, the two armies have small victories against each other, and the specific results are still unknown. .”

Yin Xu smiled coldly: "Okay, very good, Liu Bang finally made a move. Judging from the current situation, it will be a matter of time before Han Xin and Peng Yue join the battle. Only after Han Xin and Peng Yue are established, will the winner be determined The result came..."

"That's natural! I heard that Liu Bang has canonized Peng Yue as the king of Liang. There must be some agreement between them in exchange for his support." Zhang Han said with a smile.

Yin Xu said lightly: "If Liu Bang wants to exchange Han Xin and Peng Yue's support, he must pay a price." It can be foreseen that Liu Bang must have given Han Xin and Peng Yue a lot of fiefdom temptations, and Han Xin and Peng Yue are two uncertain factors. It's really troublesome, and you need to be careful when dealing with Liu Bang in the future.

Yin Xu continued: "Let's see, as long as Han Xin and Peng Yue make a move, Xiang Yu will be helpless this time. By the way, Huan Chu should not have received the news of the war between Chu and Han. Taking advantage of this time difference, we seem to be able to do a lot Things..." The ending of Xichu Kingdom and Xiang Yu is basically a certainty, the only difference is in the process, who lost what?Who will get what?Who will gain or lose more?

"That's it!" Zhang Han and Yin Xu looked at each other and smiled...

....................................................................................

"General Huan, don't rush to send troops, it's better to have a long-term plan!" Zhou Yin didn't give up because of Huan Chu's indifferent attitude. Sometimes it was his duty, and he felt it was necessary to dissuade Huan Chu from making mistakes.

"What's the long-term plan? The war opportunity is fleeting, can you delay it?" Huan Chu was aggressive and very indignant.

Zhou Yin said: "General Huan, there is the main force of the Yue Kingdom in the east of the Yangtze River. Our troops are limited. Before the overlord arrives, we will rush to send troops. I'm afraid we won't be able to continue!"

"The Overlord has news that he is rushing to Huainan at full speed. If he waits for the Overlord's army to arrive, the people of Yue will definitely defend themselves well. If it is possible now, take the opportunity to capture a corner of Jiangdong as a springboard for us to cross the south of the Yangtze River. Wait for the Overlord's army After arriving, there will be a breakthrough." Huan Chu seemed to have a good reason, saying: "If you don't do anything, it will be too late."

"General Huan, it's been a few days since Bawang contacted you. I don't know the current itinerary. Should I inquire first?" Zhou Yin always felt that it was inappropriate, and continued to dissuade him: I don’t know the layout, so should I find out before doing it?”

"Don't worry, these generals are well aware of these things. I heard that Yin Xu built Jinling City on the bank of the river, which is the military base of the Yue Kingdom in the east of the river. As long as we can send troops to take Jinling City in one fell swoop, everything will be fine." It's all easy to handle." Huan Chu was full of disapproval of Zhou Yin's words.

Huan Chu finally sent troops. He was the supreme commander of the Chu army in Huainan, although Zhou Yin could play a restraining role.But he couldn't change and stop Huan Chu's actions. At this moment, the matter was urgent, and it was too late to report to Xiang Yu who was far away in the north.So I had no choice but to watch the army attack, feeling apprehensive and worried.

There is a wide river between Huainan and Jiangdong. If you want to cross the river, you must use a boat. Many boats set off from Jiangbei and head towards Jiangdong in a mighty way.Huan Chu stood at the bow of the boat, watching the thousands of sails competing, his heart was surging.

As long as the army crosses the river and lands on the beach, they can have a good battle with the Vietnamese army.Especially in Jiangdong Kuaiji, most of the people here are Chu people. Although under the rule of Yue State, they miss the West Chu State in a different way.Now as long as the Chu army crosses the river and returns to Kuaiji, I believe the people in Kuaiji will support them.It's not like eating a pot of pulp, but it's what the people want.

In this way, the morale of the generals of the Chu army will definitely be boosted, and it is not uncomfortable to want to defeat the Yue army. As long as they temporarily gain a foothold in Jiangdong, once the main force of the overlord arrives, it will be a matter of time before they can defeat the Yue country.

Then I can also make the first contribution and rewrite the failure state of Western Chu State in the history of foreign wars.As for Zhou Yin's dissuasion, Huan Chu didn't take it seriously, he thought Zhou Yin had selfish intentions.

Huan Chu looked far away, and the place where the water and the sky meet is Jiangdong.That is my hometown, and it is also the place where I followed Xiang Yu to raise troops.What an honor it was when I was ordered to garrison Jiangdong.But when he received the orders from Overlord and Yafu that day to lead the army to retreat, he felt so uncomfortable and humiliated.

In many cases, it takes courage to bear the burden of humiliation.Huan Chu had spent the past two years in a deep humiliation, and now that he finally had a chance, he naturally thought about it and wanted to feel proud.

There are many people who realize their shame and then act bravely. There are also many people who have slight deviations in their hearts. The impulsiveness is the devil's most vivid manifestation in this group of people, and the results are often obvious.

According to Huan Chu's vision, there are several conditions for victory. One is that Xiang Yu's army arrives in time, and the other is that the Chu army can quickly gain a foothold in Jiangdong.

However, whether these two points can be achieved, Huan Chu's understanding is not clear.He didn't know the news that Chu Han had started and Xiang Yu had been firmly restrained by Liu Bang.He dispatched troops very hastily, and his preparations did not seem to be that sufficient. Huan Chu was also eager to win, and he did not pay attention to many problems.

What I didn't even care about was that in Jiangdong, Yin Xu and Zhang Han had already opened their pockets...
