"Father, the king's intention to send the envoy this time is not the same as before?"

In the nesting place, the new Grand Sima of Chu State and the new Shangzhu State Xiang Yan led [-] troops to station in the north of the river. Across the river, they looked at the remnants of the Chu State in the south, and wanted to wipe them out.

For this reason, the king of Chu, who has been on the throne for several months, is in a hurry, and he can't stop the order of the king, wanting to urge Xiang Yan to send troops as soon as possible, to completely wipe out the king of Chu, Xiong Han and others, and completely unite the split of the Chu state. Two for one.

Along the Juchao Lake, there were continuous military camps, where two hundred thousand elite soldiers from the Chu State were stationed. In front of the shogunate military tent, Xiang Liang watched a group of luxuriously dressed palace envoys go out, feeling deeply in his heart.

Entering the army tent, looking left and right, there are no outsiders, just approaching and saluting, whispering softly.

"Li Yuan took Xiong Han and the Queen Mother to the Jiangnan area. Originally, there were no more than [-] to [-] soldiers beside him, and they were vulnerable. Who would have thought that the Zhuang family and Baiyue clans would appear in the Jiangnan area."

"Under the gathering, there are more than [-] soldiers, which may not be as strong as our army, but the land in the south of the Yangtze River has undulating mountains and forests, and there are many rivers and rivers. Except for the Jiangdong elite soldiers trained by my father, they have the power to fight in the mountains and forests. "

"The rest of the soldiers can't do it."

Xiang Yan is quite old, wearing silver armor with fish scales and hair tied with an eagle helmet. At this moment, she is standing in front of a sand table, on which is a map of the deployment of troops on both sides of the river, which is quite detailed.

Although the sand table appeared in the Qin army, it was not a secret. Therefore, it soon spread to all the countries in Shandong. For Xiang Yan, he had already sent people to make an extremely exquisite sand table for the purpose of marching and dispatching troops. Used.

Glancing at his son who had entered the military tent, Xiang Yan nodded slightly, and after taking a breath, said casually, talking about the current difficult situation.

It is certainly feasible to lead troops to attack Jiangnan Xiong Han and others, but... at this time, you have to think carefully.

With the power of his own leader, even if he is sure to wipe out Xiong Han, Li Yuan and others in the south of the Yangtze River, it will be impossible in less than three years. However, the situation in Zhuxia today is worrying. Three years, variable too big.

Otherwise, in more than three years, I can't say how many of the [-] elite soldiers under my current command will be left by then. Sure enough, more than half of them will be lost, which is not good news for Chu State.

What's more, the land in the south of the Yangtze River is completely different from the land in the north of the river. The north of the river is still somewhat flat and flat, while the south of the river...is not suitable for the people of the Central Plains to live in it for a long time.

"Zhuang Ji Clan!"

"A few years ago, there were shadows of them in Shouchun. I didn't expect their strength to grow so fast, and they even got in touch with people from Baiyue. Father, since now is not the best time."

"But... don't we keep moving?"

Since his father was promoted to Da Sima of the Chu State and Shangzhu State, the Xiang family is absolutely capable at the moment and ranks alongside Qu Zhaojing's three major families, what is lacking is only the central ministers.

But now it is the troubled times of the Warring States Period, and the strength of a great Sima is no less than that of Ling Yin.

Xiang Liang has been following his father all the time, so he naturally knows what his father means, but it's not good if he doesn't send troops all the time, and he will fall into the grip of Qu Zhaojing's three major families.

The rise and strength of the Xiang clan is definitely not what they hoped to see, not to mention that now his father is in charge of all the soldiers of Chu except for the family fief.

True bit height weights.

"This time, besides Cui Can, the king sent troops as soon as possible to attack Xiong Han and others."

"Another point is the view on the land of the Three Jins!"

"Xiang Liang, you have been by my father's side for so many years, and you have learned almost all of my father's skills. How do you think my father should choose now?"

Xiang Yan withdrew her gaze from the sand table in front of her. All the traces on the sand table were completely imprinted in the depths of her mind. Looking across the river now, she was taking the initiative.

Therefore, you don't need to worry.

The conversation turned and fell on another topic.

"Qin attacked Zhao?"

Hearing this, Xiang Liang raised his eyebrows, and a trace of deep dignity appeared on his resolute expression.

"Father, if Yan, Wei, Qi, and Chu do not help, I think that Zhao will not be able to continue to exist under Qin's offensive this time. What my father said in the early years, the battle of Changping, Qin will be defeated." There is a chance to destroy Zhao."

"Now, Qin State is stronger and Zhao State is weaker. This way, it is even more irresistible. If Zhao State is destroyed, only Wei State will be left in the land of the Three Jins. It is even more impossible to resist Qin State, even if Wu Qi is alive."

"Three Jins do not exist, Qin State has expanded its land for thousands of miles, and its soldiers have reached the lands of Qi, Chu, and Yan. At that time, Qin State may really achieve great momentum."

Xiang Liang sighed softly. Originally, Chu State was the one with the most potential and power to accomplish this matter. However, for a hundred years, Chu State's domestic wars have been endless, and clan struggles are even more immortal, and the national power has been greatly depleted.

The importance of Zhao State is not only for Wei State, but also for Chu State.

But... now the king ordered to take the lead in destroying Xiong Han and others. Two hundred thousand elite soldiers gathered here. The area north of the Huai River was just a defensive army. If the Qin army suddenly went south, the Chu army would not be able to resist at all.

"so?"

Xiang Yan nodded slightly. Regarding these, her son's analysis is very correct, but what she needs is the answer, and what she needs is the result.

"Father!"

"My son thinks that my father should write a letter to the king at this moment, thinking that Zhao is very important. If Zhao survives, then the power of Qin will always be on Zhao and will not fall on Chu."

"Chu's current strength cannot compete with Qin's. Therefore, Chu should help Zhao to repeat the great achievements of the Handan Battle. Sure enough, Zhao survived, and Xiong Han and others in Jiangnan, we have enough time to fight back. Clean them up."

Xiang Liang took another step forward and whispered, now that his father is the Grand Sima of the Chu State, the strength of the Chu State is the strength of his father, and the strength of the Xiang Clan. If the Chu State does not exist, where will the Xiang Clan go?

"If Chu State helps Zhao State, how about Xiong Han, Li Yuan and others crossing the river?"

Xiang Yan didn't make any comments, but just said nothing.

"Father, my son thinks that if Xiong Han, Li Yuan and others really crossed the river, it might not be a bad thing, whether it is a good thing for the king or for father."

Hearing his father's words again, Xiang Liang didn't respond quickly this time. He looked around again with a very vigilant expression, walked two steps quickly, walked to his father's side, and said in a low voice.

"Oh, how?"

Although Xiang Yan's face was old, her eyes that were still full of mysterious light narrowed slightly, and she looked at her son curiously.
