First, he pulled out the outer city of Xiangcheng, ignited the corn and vehicles outside the city, killed all the cattle and horses, dispersed all the soldiers, and then attacked Yeyi. Before he could wait for Juancheng, the Qin army stationed in Qingguan to react, and then attacked Fangcheng overnight, and broke the journey from behind the Qin army to Xiangcheng to Wancheng. Facing the Chu cavalry, the Qin army on the entire line could only shrank in the city and shivered.

If it weren't for the season of harvesting millet, Li Xin, who received the news, would definitely return to the army immediately, but now the new millet in his hand is enough for the whole army to eat for a month, which gives him more time to deal with it. The Wancheng City Mansion where Xiong Jing stayed ten days ago was now scorched earth, and on this scorched earth, Li Xin was considering where he should go.

Last year, the right general Feng Jie died in battle. A few months ago, Guanzhong drew tens of thousands of elite soldiers. Li Xin only had his own central army and Zhao Wan's left army. Because of defense along the line, Anqi and other generals stayed in the cities along Xiangcheng and Guanguan. At this moment, he and Zhao Wan were the only ones sitting in the big tent.

"The King of Jing should go from Lu Pass to Fangcheng to Xiangcheng." Li Xin and Zhao Wan sat opposite each other, and Zhao Wan was talking about the Chu army's march route. Considering that Ying's army was on Lantian Valley Road before, it suddenly appeared outside Fangcheng, so there was only this route.

"I have sent 5,000 people to guard Lu Pass..." There are two roads to the north of Fangcheng: one is the entrance of Fangcheng to the northeast of Wancheng, which is the main road; the other is Wancheng heading directly north along Baishui, which is Lu Pass. It is rumored that Liu Xiu got lost here at the end of the Western Han Dynasty and had to lead the way with a crow. Later, this road was also called Sancha Road. Lu Pass Road was extremely dangerous, and he sent soldiers to guard it. It was difficult for Li Xin to imagine how the Chu army could get out of Fangcheng from there.

"After all Fangcheng is the Jing people's Fangcheng." Zhao Wan smiled. "General thought, when will our army enter Wuguan westward? If we enter Wuguan westward, what will be the cities along the way?"

"The Jing people were defeated in Daze, and there were no soldiers in Fangcheng." Li Xin also laughed. In the past ten years, this was his easiest attack on Chu. "I want to go straight to Yancheng, but the time for the Guowei said was not yet here, and Bai Lin had not obtained Bashu at this time."

From Fangcheng to the south to attack Yancheng, and at the same time from Bashu along the Yishui River to Jianguan, one south and one north to join Jiuying. This was the layout of the Qin army in the battle of Yanying more than 50 years ago. When Li Xin entered Fangcheng, what he needed was Bai Lin to lead his army to capture Bashu.

"I was ordered to go west to Wuguan and meet General Zhao Yong in Shangyi of Wuguan, but I also knew that the foundation of the Jing people was in the east rather than in Nanjun. When I attacked and attacked Wuguan, the Jing people would abandon Nanzheng, or retreat to the east, and it would be difficult to attack the Jing people again.

I want to…”

After the Battle of Daze, it was a bit difficult for the Qin State to adapt to the sudden huge victory. The most specific manifestation was that the subsequent strategy was in chaos. Everyone, including Zhao Zhengwei Liao, was a little confused. Although the current strategy was to attack Bashu according to the original plan, Wang Jian wrote a letter to mention a strategy of abandoning Bashu and not attacking.

Today's Chu State is completely different from the Chu State more than fifty years ago. The foundation of Chu State more than fifty years ago was in Nanjun, and today's Chu State's foundation was not in Nanzheng. The Chu army restored Nanjun, Nanyang, Hanzhong, and Bashu... After so many land and cities and so many Dingkou households, has the number of Chu troops increased? Has the Chu State become stronger?

No! The foundations of Chu State in Nanjun, Nanyang, Hanzhong were long ago uprooted by Qin State. Although they recovered these places, they could not use these places. If they could not use these places, what would the Qin army do to restore these places? Can the Qin army recover Nanyang and increase its own strength, but if they conquer Lu territory, they cannot increase its own strength?

Since the Qin army can benefit from attacking any place, and the Chu army has occupied Nanjun, Nanyang and other places but cannot use it for its own use, why not let the Chu people occupy these useless places and the Qin army attack and detonate those useful places?

The eastern part of Chu seems to be tightly defended, but in fact it is full of loopholes. From the Nanji River, it can attack Pengcheng Lu Land; from the Ru River, it can attack Qisishouying; from the East Sea, it can attack Langya Huaikou, and even Zhufang. The Qin army already has a boat army that is not inferior to the Chu army. Why didn’t they build large warships, attack the eastern part of Chu State, and use the western part to restrain the Chu army?

Wang Jian wrote a letter in this way. Although many strategists believed that Wang Jian wrote a letter for his own selfish interests, because the war in Mianshui Nanzheng drew his soldiers and snatched the new three-oared warship he wanted, in Li Xin's opinion, Wang Jian's words may not be unreasonable.

Bashu was not important at first, but was the border area of ​​the world; the old Ying Fangcheng was no longer the foundation of Chu, so Nan Zheng was not important. Moreover, the success of the Qin army in Bashu and Hanzhong was beneficial to Chu, which would prompt the Chu State to move east again. At this time, the army attacked Fangcheng, and there were no troops stationed in Fangcheng, and the Su Miao allowed it to harvest itself. How empty the Chu State's troops were! Moving to the east would be different. Moving to the east would work together. Any attack on Chu would be inspired and resisted by the Chu army.

Li Xin pondered, his eyes set on Shangcai on the south side of Fangcheng. Fangcheng was a crossroads. He did not want to return to rescue Xiangcheng, Ye Yi, nor did he want to attack Fan Xiang, nor did he want to go west to Wuguan, but he wanted to attack Chu's east. Only by attacking Chu's east side could he take the lives of the people of Chu. Unfortunately, the previous military order of the Guowei Mansion was to ask him to go west to Wuguan and pick up Zhao Yong into Nanyang.

"The general wants to pull Cai?" Zhao Wan understood what Li Xin meant.

"Of course." Li Xin pointed his finger at Shangcai's position. "Shangcai controlled the Ru River and could go straight into the Huai River. Once it entered the Huai River, the east was corrupt. Why did the Jing people move far away to Nanzheng and attack me by Chen Cangdao? Because Guanzhong was the foundation of our Qin State."

"However, our army has no food, if we attack the east..." Li Xin said it very reasonably, but he seemed to have forgotten the reality.

"Is there food in Bashu, but is there no food in the east?" Li Xin asked with a smile. "The Jing people intend to lure me to Nanzheng, Bashu, why? It's just delaying time. If I repeatedly compete with the Jing people for Bashu, Nanzheng and the eastern part can rest, the Jing people will become stronger again in five years."

Li Xin is a young man. The more he spoke, the more he became more determined to attack the east land. When Zhao Wan was still thinking, his hand had already been slapped at Shang Cai's position on the map and said, "I have decided to pull up Cai and enter the east land, just like the Jing people want to enter Guanzhong and hit their hearts."

"The National Guard has ordered the general to be ordered..." The order was changed as soon as it was said, and King Zhao was a little surprised.

"The general is not allowed to accept the orders of the king outside." Li Xin said. "The Jing people have no soldiers at this time, so can Zhao Yong break the Wu Pass by 100,000 people?"

"The National Wei wanted the General and General Zhao Yong to join forces. At that time, there was a cavalry army of ​​Feng, which could prevent King Jing from attacking him." Zhao Wan advised, and he felt that the plan of the National Wei Mansion might not be bad, but just had different points of attention.

"No, this move is too slow." Li Xin said. "Besides, the Jing people have no soldiers at this time. Our army will pull over to Cai and Zhao Yong will pull over Wu Pass, which is OK."

"If King Jing leads his army to attack me..." There are loopholes everywhere in the three thousand-mile defense line. Li Xin is not afraid of the Chu army, and Zhao Wan is still a little worried.

"The King of Jing only has 30,000 Ying troops, and the rest of the troops are only 60,000, and our army is 200,000, which is three times the enemy." After many fierce battles, the Qin army gradually became familiar with the Qin army, and the total strength was also a bit like that. "Beside Rushui, Shangcai is not involved with Mianshui, and the Chu army is all along Mianshui. If you want to attack me, you should chase me to Shangcai."

No one could guess the direction of Xiangdong, and Li Xin became happier the more he spoke. In the afternoon, he persuaded the guard Zhao Zi and sent people to Lushi County to report the news to Guanzhong. The next morning, the army and the Korean soldiers who were snatching the grain and wheat, hundreds of thousands of people covered the sky and the wilderness and advanced east together.

After Li Xin entered Wancheng, he either went west to meet Zhao Yong who was repairing the Lantian Plank Road; or went south from Wancheng and went straight to the old Ying, and no one expected that he would go east. What does it mean to go east? To east is to go east to Huai Shang. Ying and E troops were waiting in Fanxiang. After Xiong Jing mobilized the Qin army to protect the rear road, they would cross the Qin army south, and fight with Li Xin north of Fancheng, or between Shangmi and Wuguan. Now, Li Xin did not advance west or south, but went east to Wei.

"Li Xin is vicious!" Four days later, Xiong Jinggang, who saw the combat officer Li and Shentong, who was following Shentong in person, sighed after reading the long letter.

The east is indeed extremely empty. To the north are the remaining troops of Zhao and Wei, and these remaining troops can only defend Daliang, while the other cities cannot be defended at all. There are ten divisions in Muling Pass in the east, and these ten divisions can at most go to Yishui, Mushui goes south and support the Pengcheng front line, which is difficult to help Huaixi.
