Qin Dynasty Novelist

"Since you are staying in the mundane world, you should have a foundation to stand on."

Yun Shu has been paying attention to Zhou'er's matter, and it is only appropriate that Yun Shu handles it.

And although it is good to stay in the mundane world, all troubles have come. After making some meritorious service, earning a title, and taking root in the counties of Qin State, or in Xianyang, the current self can still help.

"Thank you, uncle."

Hypocrisy is another ritual.

"Go, wait for your return, everything will be settled."

Zhou Qing waved his hand.

"Yes."

Xu Shou got up, turned and left.

"Yun Shu, ask Zhou Er to come over."

His eyes shifted to Yun Shu in the hall.

"Ah."

Yun Shu nodded, then turned and left.

"My lord, if Zhou'er leaves, there will be one less person in the mansion."

Xue Ji was arranging the papers that Zhou Qing had just written, and was reading and summarizing at the same time. A few days ago, Yun Shu's younger sister went out, and then Zhou'er left again.

There are not many people in the whole mansion.

Sister Qianhong, Sister Yanling, Sister Yingge...all went to Chu State, and the adults always like to be quiet, and there are not many servants, but...after all, such a big mansion should have a look.

"You are enough."

Zhou Qing smiled slightly.

After destroying Han and Zhao, the next step is to attack Yan and Wei, so it is not far from Tianxia, ​​that is, what do you need so many people in the mansion.

There are too many people, it will be separated every day, and it will be sad by itself.

Not as comfortable as it is today!

"My lord, Zhou'er is outside."

While talking casually, Yun Shu, who had just left the side hall, had returned.

"Let her in."

Zhou Qing got up from behind the table.

******

After the summer harvest, [-] lightly armed cavalry hurricane generals headed south from Nanyang County and went straight to Huaibei in the state of Chu.

The [-] troops that Wang Ben brought back from Zhao during this trip were all elite soldiers. Now the [-] light cavalry that went straight to Huaibei can be called elite troops.

"Huaibei is now the center of gravity of Northern Chu. All the way is flat, the mountains are not visible, and the common people are numerous. If we use the old Yiqu's elite soldiers to go south and attack the unprepared Chu State, it will be a great success!"

This time before Wang Ben left, he spoke to Qin Wangzheng for the last time in the side hall of Xingle Palace.

At this point, Qin Wangzheng did not hesitate, and directly responded to Wang Ben's policy, ordering Nanyang County to supply Wang Ben's army with whatever it needed.

Therefore, there are now galloping light cavalry.

The light cavalry soldiers, with a cowhide armor body shaped by the Palace of Protecting the Country, carry a fine iron long sword, a strong bow and crossbow, two pots of arrows, one astride, two war horses, and fodder on their backs.

Since they wanted to make a strong surprise attack, they naturally couldn't give Chu State time to react, and the dry food they carried with them was only dried beef and water.

Thirty thousand light cavalry rushed to attack Chu State, and Nanyang County cooperated to cut off all the connections between Chu State and Yingchuan County.

On a midsummer night, Wang Ben's [-] light cavalry were galloping like lightning. Just after the third watch, the moonlight was shining, and they approached the land of Shangcai on the west bank of Rushui River, and circled to the south of Chencheng, the old capital of Chu State.

Thirty thousand Qingqi camped quietly in the river valley. There was no smoke, no fire, and no one shouting. If you didn't walk into this dense forest, no one would have thought that such a terrifying army that was about to whip up a hurricane was hidden here.

In the dark woods under the hazy moonlight, there is only a faint light diffused from the foot of the riverside mountain. It is a large dried up puddle that Wang Ben gathered.

"This is the old capital of Chu State, according to us, it is only a hundred miles away!"

A sheepskin map was hung on the tree trunk, with torches flickering to the side. Wang Ben stood in front of the map, pointing at the map with a long sword in his hand, facing the returning generals, making the final deployment.

"I'm going to conquer the twelve cities of Chu State in half a month!"

"Shangcai, Chengyang, Fanyang, Sleeping City, ..., Kuxian County, Yangxia, in half a month, we will detour and fight for hundreds of miles from here, and then go north to meet the troops of peace and chaos."

"This battle only destroys the city, does not occupy land, does not plunder property, except to supplement our needs, break through the city, and leave, and rush to the next place, not to fight. What the general wants is to let Chu, who is difficult to send troops at the moment, country, and dare not act rashly."

Wang Ben has been studying the situation in Chu State for several months, and he is very clear.

Now, the river in the state of Chu is divided into two parts, the north is the king of Chu, and the south is the king of Chu, Xionghan, but... the biggest enemy of the Chu is not the state of Qin, but the old families in Chu.

In the past few months, they have even issued decrees to weaken the power of the old clan, take back Shouchun, and reunite the state affairs. In this way, the only force that can stabilize the burden is Xiang Yan.

If Xiang Yan sent troops to fight, on the one hand, he had no fear, he had only [-] light cavalry, and he was extremely flexible, and it would take half a month for Xiang Yan to mobilize his [-] troops; on the other hand, he might not want to send troops.

If Xiang Yan was damaged, it would be difficult to promulgate an order to extend favor without the government and the opposition to suppress it. Therefore, Wang Ben felt that this was the best time to quell the chaos and destroy Wei.

"Here!"
