Chapter 51: Ten Days

"The Qin people attacked me, and today they have occupied the fork of Mount Yuanwu Mountain. If they fight again tomorrow, they may lose the way of Baoxie. If they do not retreat, the Qin people will surround me; if they retreat, the Qin people will go down the water, and Juyi, Nanzheng will be in danger..."

Xishi is the leader of all the divisions. The division leads Cheng Si to talk about the current situation as soon as it opens its mouth. In terms of defense, Xishi is at the foot of the mountain east of Yuanwu Mountain, Xincai and Qisi are at the top of the mountain, Lower Cai, and the siege brigade, Kuaiji is guarding the left bank of Mianshui.

The mountains on the left bank are undulating, the Mian River rises and retreats, and the shore becomes muddy, so defense is not difficult; although the top of the mountain is wide, the forest is dense and difficult to pass through; the real pressure is the foot of the mountain on the east side of the mountain, which is related to the retreat of the entire army. The Qin army fell down the rock wall and killed many people to occupy the Sanchakou.

Cheng Si just raised the topic and waited for everyone to express his opinions. Unexpectedly, Lu Gao suddenly stood up and rushed to say, "The Qin people built warships and knew that the other officials did not observe them. This is a secret; luring me to dredge the mountain stream and sink the boats and the boats went south. This is a clever trick; countless elite soldiers are countless, and this is bound to be obtained. With these three, they are definitely not to capture Juyi Nanzheng, and then attack Yanying, which is to capture Bashu again!"

"Bashu?!" Lu Gao's identity was not enough to speak first, but he was also a Fengjun. After all, he said this and judged the intentions of the Qin people, which shocked all the generals.

"The Qin people were short of food for a long time. They were famined last year, and famined last year, and famined this year." Lu Gao blushed and his whole body was full of energy. Although his words would bring him to death, he couldn't help but say these words, and he couldn't help but say them. "The Qin people went south, and the Qin people's elite soldiers went south, only for Bashu, not for the old Ying.

If he had obtained Bashu, Bashu would accumulate 30 million stones of grain, and if he were Wei, Bashu was even higher than our Chu Kingdom. In the past, Bai Qi attacked me and went east from Bashu. Bashu accumulated 30 million stones of grain, but he did not produce 30 million stones of grain. If he seized the food of Shu people, he would have to have 40 to 50 million stones.

Qin State has been famine for years, and its newly obtained land has withered. The army of one is one of three, and the crops are destroyed. This year, the production of less than 200 million stones should be less than 800 million stones, and the transportation of only 90 million stones can be transferred. Only half a year of military rations can be obtained by obtaining Bashu, so that the Qin army can survive until the next year of harvest. Today, the Qin State will not be destroyed if it is a great victory, and the Qin State will not be over. The Qin State will not be over, and the common people have no time to farm, and there is no grain to eat. The Qin State will also be destroyed.

If our army guards this place carefully, the elite soldiers of the Qin people will not be able to go south, and will be famine again next summer and autumn. In the case of the famine, many people will die again. If the war is fought again next year, the crops will be one-two. The Qin land has more than one thousand million, and a stone of grain will be needed for one-two. If one-two is lost, there will be no military rations. If there is no food in the army, the Qin army will collapse..."

"Our army is here, when should we guard it?" Qi Sima Song and asked.

The enemy situation was reported across all divisions and brigades. When Lu Gao talked about Bashu and corn, everyone here understood the intentions of the Qin people. The Qin people were determined to make a big move to the south, not for anything else, but for food. As long as they nailed it here like a nail, the Qin people's plan would not succeed. But how long would it take to nail it?

"At most ten days." Lu Gao pondered for a moment and replied. "Maybe it doesn't take ten days. If General Cheng wiped out all the Qin people's boat troops and the army headed north to attack Meng Tian's back, the Qin army would retreat."

"How much military ration is there in the army?" Pan Wuming's voice, he didn't care about how many days he could hold on. As long as there was food, the soldiers of Xincai's army could keep on holding on.

"It will take ten days." New Zei Sima Pan Kang replied in a low voice. The standard in the army is generally that soldiers carry three days of military rations themselves, and the division's supplies carry another three days of military rations. Because it is defense, about five or six days of military rations were stored on the mountain.

"We have nothing to wait." Sima Song and Ji sighed. The Qi Shi has counted the losses, but the personnel losses are not large, but the materials losses are extremely large. Military tents, military rations, arrows, these are either washed away or soaked.

"My army has no one." Cai Zhi, Qu Qin, Lu Qi and others shook their heads together. The Xi army and Xin Cai army were guarding the Yuanwu Mountain without any loss. The army brigade on the left bank of the Mian River was washed away by the flood at night. Most of the losses carried by the soldiers and the troops were carried by the troops.

"Is it going to be there in five days?" Lu Gao only knew the situation of the siege brigade, but not the situation of Xia Cai and Qisi.

"At most three days." Song Ji said a number. In the end, Qu Qin was left: "My teacher has no one day, and today he still relies on his friend's help."

"If you can transport the corn along the way," Sima Chengzi, the teacher next to Cheng Si, coughed and started to think about the transportation line. "You may have a ten-day meal."

"If you rush to transport the corn along the way, you may not be able to do it." It is not someone else's objection, but Cheng Si. "Tomorrow, Meng Tian will attack fiercely, and he will be able to defend until noon, and he will not be able to guard the dusk. In addition to corn, there are also military tents, arrows, gunpowder, straw veins, medicine..."

"If you want to keep this place carefully, you will have to get a rush..." someone said.

"The injured soldiers should also be transported quickly..." Another person said.

"We should send another message to the capital and tell our army to hold this place to stop the Qin people's expectations..."

Originally, this military discussion was discussed whether to retreat or defend, but the discussion had not yet begun, and the curtain was discussed in detail how to hold on. Lu Gao looked at it and smiled in his heart. He knew that the Chu army could not be teased, and he was full of fighting spirit once he was teased, so he had to speak first after the ceremony and explain to everyone the intention of the Qin army in this battle.

"You must take back your concubine?" The military discussion soon disbanded. Sima of the divisions and brigades began to be busy, and he stepped back. Lu Cai said the first thing he said to him.

"When did you have the heart of a villain?" Lu Gao looked at Lu Qi in surprise, as if he had only known him today.

"There are only a few words to you." Lu Chuang did not joke with him. "In the day, the Qin people went south with nearly a thousand warships. Only the Chu Yue troops under General Cheng's command could fight in water. The Chu Yue troops had only two hundred warships. Do you think our army can win?"

"So what if I can't win?" Lu Gao asked back. "Juyi is your fief. If you don't keep this place carefully, Juyi will be removed by the Qin people."

"Juyi is indeed my fiefdom, but Chu Qi is also my mother country." Lu Qi's voice was not as stiff as before, full of emotions. "If our army was gone here, there will be only Ying, Xiang, and E..."

"Is it Zhang Han who said to you?" There are always people who oppose perseverance. Lu Gao knew that these words were definitely not what Lu Zi thought.

"Reinforcements will indeed arrive in ten days?" Lu Qi did not change the subject. The two stood on the ridge, and the cold wind blew past the sky and it started to rain again.

"If the army of Chengtong is all Mo, Xiangyang will have 1,600 miles of mountain roads based on this, and there will be more than 200 miles of mountain roads, up to ten days."

"If the Qin people were as cautious as our army guarding the mountain road, it would delay the time..." Lu Chuang asked again.

"Then our army will cross the Mian River and go west." Lu Gao said his last plan: go west.

"You really..." Lu Qi raised his hand and pointed it at him. "You really are for your beloved concubine."

"It's not for her!" Lu Gao was helpless. "The Qin people must have thought I was going south, but they didn't expect that I would go west. There was Chengyang led by Dou Yuzhi in the west, and there were two divisions of the army, and there were tens of thousands of Qiang people. Only when they went west could they have a way to live. Go west to the Qiang land, and then go down the Qiang land along the water, and you can return to Nanzheng. If Nanzheng is not in my hands, you can also go straight to Shu land; if Shu land is not in my hands..."

"How?" The Qiang people came to Nanzheng by boat. Lu Qi remembered that he also knew that he could enter Shu from Qiang. But if Bashu was still occupied by the Qin people, he would not know what to do.

"If Shu is not in my hands, the State of Chu may perish." It is difficult for Lu Gao to imagine this situation.

From a global perspective, once the Grand Sima Mansion receives its own pigeon news, the Ying army attacking Lantian must retreat immediately. The fifth division of Zhu clan who stayed in Xiangyang should immediately go back to the Han River and go straight to Nanzheng to rescue Chengtong. Li Xin will definitely attack Fangcheng again. Li Xin attacked to restrain the Chu army in Fangcheng and make it unable to support Nanzheng. The Ying army retreated to fill the vacancy left by the fifth division of Zhu clan to prevent Fangcheng and Xiangyang from being empty, and Li Xin attacked the old Ying.

Their side was nailed to this place to prevent the Qin army from moving south, reduce the pressure in the direction of Nanzheng, and enable the reinforcements that went upstream to Xiangyang to clear the Qin people's boat troops and the soldiers who had already moved south in the shortest possible time. What Lu Gao didn't know was that this was actually Pang Nuan's plan to close the door, but the location of the door had changed.

It was almost dawn and the rain was getting heavier and heavier. However, Lu Gao's last words were too scary. The cold autumn rain hit Lu Feng without any notice.

"The State of Chu may perish." If such words were said from others, Lu Chuang would definitely punch him and smash his teeth, but when he said this, he seemed to fall into an ice cave and could not breathe.

Fortunately, Lu Gao finally said a heartwarming sentence, and he said: "The king is invincible. If the king is here, the State of Chu will not perish!"

It was getting bright, and the autumn rain fell on Yuanwu Mountain. The seasonal waterfall in Hongxia in the heart of the mountain pass flowed down again, splashing water from the rock walls, and the same autumn rain hit Xiong Jing. He did not sail south with the entire army, but rode his horse to Wancheng hundreds of miles away.

The Qin army's boat division headed south in large numbers, and the direction of Nanzheng, Juyi and Bashu were in a tight position. In order to prevent Fangcheng's division and brigade from rescue, Li Xin must enter Fangcheng to restrain him. The advice he gave to the Grand Sima Mansion was the same as Lu Gao thought. Fangcheng's division and brigades must immediately rescue Nanzheng, and Shangyu gave up all of them. Eight divisions and twelve brigades in Wuguan Road filled Fangcheng.

As for Guanzhong, where the door opens, he didn't even think about it. The key to Qin State is Zhao Zheng. If Zhao Zheng does not die, there will be no turmoil within Qin; the second is Qin army, as long as the Qin army is annihilated and the Qin army is weakened to a certain scale, the war can only be terminated.

Third, if the craftsmen in Shaofu were all trapped in Xianyang, how could the Qin army build nearly a thousand large-winged warships? Perhaps the same is true for food and fodder, but this is too slow; the common people are definitely not. The last time the Chu army invaded Guanzhong, the Qin people were firmly in the clear field. Before the Chu army arrived in the county and township, there was a blazing fire and cried and shouting to the sky.

Now these key points are not in Xianyang and all are in Yongcheng. From Lantian to Yongcheng, the eight divisions of Ying and E and Tang dynasties attacked each other from the city. On the way, they had to deal with the Qin army's boat troops and the 40,000 cavalrymen. They would definitely not be able to conquer Yongcheng before the food was exhausted.
