Daqin Engineers

I have to say that communication in ancient times was very troublesome.

In modern times, this is just a matter of sending a telegram, but this era has been tossing for many days.

First, the spies who sent the confidential documents entered the Chu army.

This step is not a problem, after all, Wei's inspection is not strict.

The "laxity" mentioned here is not about lax inspection.

In fact, at this time, the inspection methods in various countries are similar. Take a test describing your name, height, and appearance with you.

This is a more primitive inspection, and people's appearance and height will change, especially in this era when they were seventeen. Many people will grow taller after joining the army and their appearance will also change.

In addition, there are also changes in war injuries and disabilities.

Therefore, this inspection needs to be renewed once a year, which is called "self-occupied", that is, when it expires, you can apply for it on your own initiative.

This is very strict in the State of Qin. If it expires, it will be punished if it does not "self-occupy", and even the corporal leader will be punished.

But the other six countries are not so strict.

The reason is that Liuguo’s household registration is mainly for taxation and not to know people. If someone is injured and not self-possessed, the tax exemption will not be exempted, and the aristocratic class still enjoys stealing.

As a result, quite a lot of people’s checks are not updated in time and they are not up to date. After a long time, they become accustomed to checking, so it doesn’t matter if checking is not checked... Checking can't find anything, so there is no need to check.

Therefore, the messenger entered the Chu army without much effort.

It is not difficult to get out of the Chu army. At this time, the Chu army has Wei army, civilians, and even Zhao army. It is so busy.

The difficulty lies in not being able to get the horse, but there are more than 600 miles to Handan.

Moreover, it is still cold in the cold and lack of clothing and food. It is indispensable to be interrogated along the way. If it is not frozen to death and starved to death, it will take more than ten days to arrive.

Among them, there were two clever ones. They robbed two Chu army messengers on the road, dressed as Chu army, and rode their horses forward. They arrived at Handan on the fourth day.

Rewards are indispensable for them.

When Wang Jian received the secret letter, he checked the map again, and immediately praised "good plan".

Then he took the secret letter to see Yingzheng without saying anything.

Ying Zheng looked at the secret letter and also at the map, and then the frown on his forehead stretched out.

"Cunning plan, as expected, Shen Bing has a way!"

The secret document was only a small piece of leather, so Shen Bing did not mention that this method was invented by Shen Bing.

The meaning was obvious, it was an appointment date to cut the ice and release the water to flood Chu Jun.

But Ying Zheng immediately guessed that this strategy was made by Shen Bing.

No wonder.

With such a creative strategy, who else could have been made by Shen Bing?

In fact, Wang Jian also thought the same, but at this time Ying Zheng said so, he couldn't help but feel sad:

Alas, the waves behind the Yangtze River push forward waves!

Is this old bone going to be eliminated?

Is it going to be forgotten by the king?

I wanted to say something.

But after another thought, isn't he about to keep a low profile?

So he was silent.

Ying Zheng looked at the Chu army's troop deployment on the map again, and laughed:

"If this plan can be achieved, it will not only be the rescue of the big beams, but will defeat the hundreds of thousands of Chu army."

"Chu Jun is in trouble this time!"

When he said that, he no longer hesitated, and immediately ordered Wang Jian:

"Your ministry is temporarily waiting to go south to the spot."

"Another 30,000 troops rushed to Hetao to dig ice and open the river!"

Wang Jian responded and went to make arrangements.

There is nothing wrong with Ying Zheng's order.

First of all, the soldiers who Wang Jian went south must of course "stand in place."

If it is retracted, it will inevitably make the Chu army suspect. In addition, if there is no threat from the Qin army, the Chu army will also adjust its forces, and the effect of flooding Chu will not be so good.

Secondly, it is not easy to go to the Hetao area to cut ice and release water.

That area was the northern land where Li Mu resisted the Huns, and Zhao Jia fled to the neighborhood after the destruction of Zhao State.

To be precise, it was not nearby. The reason was that Zhao Jia fled to the east end of the Northland while the Hetao was at the west end, and the two places were nearly a thousand miles apart.

The reason is that Zhao Jia must be close to Yan Guo and his group to keep warm, otherwise Qin will kill him in minutes.

Although this group heating is actually ineffective, at least the two countries can become alliances in a sense.

Ying Zheng is even more worried about the remnants of Zhao Bing or bandits, plus the threat of the Huns to the north...

The Huns worried that Li Mu was dead, and there was nothing to stop the Huns in the North.

Therefore, these 30,000 soldiers not only went north to break the ice, but also took the North Land into the territory by the way.

There are no more soldiers, and there are only 30,000 left in the three counties.

This even made Yingzheng feel a little flustered:

One hundred thousand went to attack Wei and was surrounded by beams, one hundred thousand went to rescue.

Thirty thousand went to the Northland, and there were only thirty thousand soldiers defending a piece of land as large as the Three Counties...If Qi or Yan knew about sending troops to attack, it would be fatal.

Among them, the country of Yan was pretty good. After all, Wang Xi was scared to death by being defeated. In addition, the grain was almost looted. They thought it was not easy to spend the winter, and the possibility of sending troops was unlikely.

However, Qi State has been self-cultivating for a long time, and there is a large amount of food, grass, soldiers and horses that have not moved.

How can this be done?

After thinking about it, Ying Zheng had a plan: send an envoy to Qi.

The purpose of this envoy to Qi is very strange, saying that he hopes to use Qi to attack Caozhou in Chu...

This strategy is indeed feasible.

From Handan to the south, it was difficult for the Qin army to move even a single inch, so of course it could not threaten Caozhou, the main base of the Chu army.

However, it would be different if you can cross the Yellow River by Qi State and then go south. It takes only dozens of miles to reach Caozhou and encircle it.

Of course, Yingzheng's move is not really to take advantage of Qiguo to take Caozhou.

He had long known that Qi Guo had used excuses to dodge it.

Yingzheng is here to release two messages:

One: The Qin Army hopes to cross the Yellow River to transfer the battlefield to the territory of Chu State and go south to reinforce the beam.

Two: The Qin Army still has enough troops in Handan to open up a new battlefield.

Needless to say why these two messages are transmitted.

The former was to confuse the Chu army, so that the Chu army thought that the Qin army was making this plan, so he concentrated more troops in the Caozhou area...this area will also be flooded.

The latter is to tell everyone in another way: Handan has enough troops, don't think about taking advantage of others.

From an objective point of view, Ying Zheng's move seems to be unnecessary. Qi Wangjian has long been fooled into treating Qin as an ally and will not attack.

It's just that Yingzheng is necessary to do this, because this is a situation where "one mistake is made and all is lost", and any possibility must be considered.

If you hold the ideal of luck, of course you think it is safe, it will be too late for the moment when the danger comes.
