In any era, wars must avoid the rainy season as much as possible. Rain makes the road muddy, fatigues soldiers and horses, and makes weapons, and cold weapons, especially the bowstrings will relax, which will make the entire military operation stagnate. However, there is no choice in the time of day. At this time, the Ying army must fight in the rain.

'Everything is simple in war, but even simple things are difficult.' When difficulties are difficult to overcome, Xiong Jing always thinks of this sentence. At the same time, there is another sentence that comes to mind: 'The commander must use his inner fire and spiritual light to reignite the fire of faith and hope in all his subordinates. Only by doing this can he control them and continue to command them.'

Xiong Jing read Clausewitz's "On War" briefly. These things that he thought had forgotten long ago were recalled in his mind from time to time. Some words were really obscure and it was difficult for him to translate these words in Chu language. Fortunately, they could also be expressed through actions.

After meeting with Ying Shi, he immediately told all the soldiers of Ying Shi: "What I do." Then he dismounted, lived on the black curtain where the soldiers lived, ate the canned food for the soldiers, carried their armor, weapons, and supplies like the soldiers, and marched in the mountains where the trees covered the sky.

Nan Zheng has been restraining the bodies of those who died in the Battle of Daze, but there are more than 300,000 armies of the enemy and our army. Some of them will float downstream. When they return to Xiangyang from the waterway, they see many corpses along the way, including Chu army and Qin army. The situation in the Battle of Daze is unknown, and the generals are secretive. So many comrades floating downstream of the Mian River, the soldiers of the entire army will inevitably be anxious.

When he saw Xiong Jing, the soldiers wanted him to tell the truth, but were worried that he would tell the truth. Xiong Jing's taciturn behavior solved the problem, but his actions seemed to tell everyone: the mother country was in danger! The more than 20,000 people who were anxious and anxious suddenly sank. Every soldier fell silent and began to "do what the king did."

After exploring the terrain, Xiong Jing did not meet with the Ying army at Sang Tunnel as Gexun said, but ordered the Ying army to march to Biyang (Biyang) and stopped moving forward. After the merging, the Ying army immediately secretly headed northeast of Biyang and disappeared into the vast mountains.

The mountains are 110 miles away from Xianghe Pass. After Xianghe Pass reaches more than 50 miles south of Xianghe Pass, it merges with the streams of the mountain streams in various places and turns to the east, and finally merges into the Ru River. This is the case with the river water and the roads. The Qin army goes south from Xianghe Pass and crosses the Xiangshui before the waters gather. After turning to the east, the entire army marchs south of the rivers. Walking 130 miles east is Daoyi.

After reaching the Qin Dynasty, Daoyi and Zhumadian were almost the same location, playing a similar transit role. The reason why it was "almost" was because Daoyi was twenty miles south of Zhumadian, close to Langshan (that is, Leshan, which was renamed Leshan in the Song Dynasty).

The reason why it is twenty miles south of Zhumadian is that at this time, Zhumadian, which includes more than a thousand years after the Qin Dynasty, was a swamp, and the terrain near the mountainous area was relatively high. Zhumadian was named "Zhuma" not because there were hostels here, or large army garrisons here, but because it was "low and low, and cannot be planted" here, and only ramie could grow. Since ancient times, there was a village of ramie. Ramie and Zhuma were homophonic. As the terrain gradually grew, the population gradually increased, so it gradually replaced Daoyi and became the only post station connecting the Huai River. Ramie was also renamed Zhuma.

Xiong Jing had no idea about the matter of Queen Qin. He only knew that Xia Road went south from Xianghe Pass for more than 50 miles, crossed the Xiangshui River and turned east, next to the mountains in the south, leading to Daoyi in the east. The Ying army was hiding, and the mountain full of crows was fifty miles away from the bend of the road.

The Yingshi spear formation can travel through the mountains and forests. It is fifty miles to avoid the search of Qin army scouts. With the length and speed of Qin army's marching, the entire army can only pass through the search points two to three days after the scout search. Therefore, whenever the dangerous land passes, the army will accelerate through. There is only one purpose of acceleration, shortening the passage time of the army.

If the enemy waits secretly outside the scout search range in order to achieve a surprise attack, then accelerating the passage will greatly shorten the time they get close to their own side, so they have to march quickly. Rapid marching will cause many problems. First, because of the obstacles of mountains, rivers, trees, and ponds, they may not be able to arrive on time. When they arrive, their army has already gone far away; then, a rapid marching will often expose their whereabouts and make their army alert in advance; third, errors will occur in a busy manner, and surprise attacks will be insufficient.

The shogunate strategist believed that Li Xin would definitely accelerate his passage through the mountainous areas after leaving Xianghe Pass. At that time, the Qin army marched in three columns, with the length of twenty lieutenants being 93 miles. With the strength of the soldiers, shogunate, vehicles, baggage, and food, the length of the marching must be more than 150 miles. If it does not rain, grit your teeth. Maybe you can travel 90 miles a day, and the army can pass through the surprise attack point in two days. The road is difficult to travel when it rains. Staff generally believed that the Qin army was marching at most 60 miles, and it would take three days for the entire marching column to "walk" through the surprise attack point.

Three days are the entire army, not the Central Army Shogunate where Li Xin is located. If the Central Army Shogunate is in the center of the entire army, then after the Qin army explores the way and scouts pass, Ying's army will have one and a half days to complete the fifty miles; if the Central Army Shogunate is located in front, then this time may only be one day. Of course, it is also possible that the Central Army Shogunate is located in backward, and the time may be two days.

This mainly depends on Li Xin's own arrangement. The spy hiding in Xianghe Pass would tell Li Xin to the capital of Yingdu when he was in the position of the entire army. Yingdu was transmitted to Biyang, and Biyang's cavalry quickly reported to Yingshi, thirty miles northeast of Biyang.

In addition to this warning route, there is also a simple Feixun line located on the mountains on both sides of the Xiangshui River. The marching speed of the Qin army after leaving Xianghe Pass. Li Xin (actually based on the flag of the shogunate) will be transmitted through the Feixun in the mountains.

Li Xin's journey must be accurately calculated, and the same is true for the Ying army, especially the time to get from fifty miles away to the surprise attack site. The time depends on the road conditions, and the road depends on the workmen, and even the soldiers of the army, and the soldiers in advance, and paved in advance.

Ensure that there are enough wide and enough trails, and ensure the safety of soldiers passing after heavy rain. At the same time, hide these trails in the forest to avoid being discovered by the Qin army's repelled cavalry... This is the task that the Ying army must complete before the war. During this period of waiting for Li Xin, the soldiers worked in the rain, opened up and paved roads in this lush mountain.

It was rainy and worked day and night, including Xiong Jing. Many soldiers fell ill because of this. Some of them fell ill and could only send them to the rear overnight. However, more people were holding on like Xiong Jing to wait for Li Xin to arrive.

"The king is awake?" Xiong Jing's black curtain was set under a big tree, and the folded bed was abandoned. He slept on the dry branches like soldiers. Seeing the black curtain trembling, Chang Jiang, who was so old that she didn't need to sleep for a long time, hurried forward to serve him.

"When will it take?" The black curtain could cover the rain, but the air was still wet. Xiong Jing, who was out of the tent, looked at the fire guarding Changjiang.

"It's already breakfast." Chang Jiang replied. He brought the breakfast that had been hot. Today, the whole army ate canned yellow croaker and corn rice.

After drinking a sip of hot tea, Xiong Jing spoke. At this moment, he felt that his head was not as dizzy as yesterday, but his nose was snot. "I dreamed of my father." He said, his face with nostalgia that had not ended in the dream.

"Ah." Chang Jiang and the left and right historians were shocked. Dreams are very mysterious things that can communicate life and death, contact the world and the underworld. Dreams before the war often indicate good or bad luck. The so-called "good luck is, otherwise stop." If the dream indicates bad luck, the war must be stopped.

"The father has not said anything." Xiong Jing smiled. He didn't want to say the content of the dream, so as not to affect the morale of the entire teacher.

"How about the king? Cough cough... How do you dream of the previous king? The previous king did not say anything, how about the previous king's actions?" The right Shi Yixian said anxiously. He was also sick and kept coughing.

"The father smiled and praised him, but he didn't say anything. I forgot him." As soon as he heard that Xiong Jing dreamed of the previous king, the historians on both sides were very excited. They quickly summoned Zhuang Wudi Deng Sui and others. After asking, Xiong Jing still answered this way. In the afternoon, the soldiers began to spread the saying "The king dreamed of the previous king, and the previous king smiled and praised him, and he would win this battle." When Chang Jiang passed these words back, Xiong Jing couldn't help but laugh.

He did dream of his father last night, and his father did not say anything, but he did not dare to tell anyone that the place where he dreamed of his father was outside the sect. After the death of Song Jinggong, the young master had to compete for the throne with his son Qi. One day, the young master dreamed that his son Qi headed north and slept outside the Lumen, and he turned into a big crow with his mouth at the south gate and his tail was placed at the Tong (North) gate. When he woke up, he said, "I dreamed that I am beautiful, and I will stand. (I dreamed that I will stand up well, and I will stand up our country)"

‘The dead heads in the north, and the living heads in the south’, this is the explanation of this dream when Song Yu taught his career. The guild of the guild is the north gate of the royal palace. In the dream, he saw his father in the guild, and his head naturally headed north. Outside the guild, it means losing his country. To put it simply, this is a very bad dream, which means he is about to die and lose his country.

Before the war, Xiong Jing did not dare to say all this dream, but could only say half of it. After the war, he returned to Yingdu and summoned Taibu and Zhanmeng to tell him in detail. Just like the mud that I dreamed of ten years ago, dreaming of mud does not mean death, and only by inserting into muddy ground means he said that he was about to be buried. Perhaps this is not a bad dream.

With a smirk on his face, Xiong Jing tried his best to stop thinking about this dream, but the more he didn't think about it, the more he thought about it, the more he thought about it. The dream implies that he had died and the country was dead. If this is true, what should mother, Mi Xuan, Sheng'er do? What should hundreds of thousands of generals and millions of Chu people do? What should the Kanto countries do? Could it be that they can only avoid the sea, but how many boats do this? Where can they avoid it?

Xiong Jing was dizzy again. At this time, Gui Jing and Zhuang Wudi rushed over. Zhuang Wudi, who had a tight face, walked to Xiong Jing before exhaling, "The Qin army has already come out of Xianghe."

"When?" Xiong Jing was shocked when he heard this. "When will the Qin army come out of Xianghe? Where did the news come from?"

"Reported to the king, there is rain in the mountains, and the news comes from the sun." Gui Jing said. "The Qin army came out of Xianghe today, and Li Xin was sixty miles behind the front army."
