Not changed

The wide Qin Road was covered with green green pine planted on both sides. Wang Jian, who returned to Pinyang from Huai County, crossed the Yellow River south from Hangu Pass to Guanzhong. As a general, he was surrounded by people and watched everyone. When he returned home due to illness, only the Wang clan members were with his old servants.

The good general did not do anything but wanted to retire and return home. Even the clan members would inevitably have such grievances. Whenever they heard such words, Wang Jian always smiled kindly and did not feel any regrets. Indeed, a fighting official could climb to this high position, return home due to illness at the age of 60, and a title created by the ancestors was blessed by his ancestors.

Qin State was still short of horses, and Wang Jian and his party had no carriages, only ox carriages. Four ox carriages entered Hangu Pass, but they did not want to go out to close the door on the west side and were stopped by a soap-clothed servant: "I dare to ask, General Wang Jian..."

"Who, who?" No one cared about it all the way. When he entered Hangu Pass, someone suddenly asked him, including Wang Jian, and he was surprised.

"I am a servant of Changwenjun." The servant Zaoyi's voice was not loud, and his face was full of smiles when he spoke.

Three years ago, Changping Jun Xiong Qi, the chariot was broken. Although Changwen Jun Xiong Meng was imprisoned, the whole mansion carefully investigated and interrogated, and he did not have anything to do with Changping Jun and did not find any carrier pigeons. Without evidence, it depends on the king's intention. If the clan was killed, Changwen Jun would also have to break the car. If the clan was killed, Changwen Jun would escape death. The final result was that Changping Jun's car was broken, and Changwen Jun would not be in the court since then.

When Changping Jun was the right prime minister, Changwenjun's mansion was also crowded. Changping Jun's car was broken, and Changwenjun seemed to disappear in Xianyang. No one had seen him again. Unexpectedly, he appeared in Hangu Pass today.

There was no Wang Jian's ox cart, but on Changwenjun Xiong Meng's cart. The two met quietly. Wang Jian was old and Xiong Meng was just middle-aged. As soon as he saw Wang Jian, Xiong Mengli immediately bowed and said, "If you know about it, you must thank the general."

Xiong Meng paused her head and bowed her head, and the floor of the carriage was thudding loudly. Wang Jian did not avoid it and directly accepted his reason. When he looked out of the car, he found that the two servants were following ten steps away. He said, "The bad guy is just to fulfill his promises back then. Why do you want to thank me? If there was no recommendation from the Prime Minister in the past, not to mention the world, even in the Qin Dynasty, there were a few people who knew me, Wang Jian. Please get up, please get up quickly."

"However, the general returned home after he was sick to fulfill his promise..." Xiong Meng raised his head and looked at Wang Jian, and then bowed.

The matter of Wang Jian’s retirement was not a secret. The army knew it, and there were rumors in the country. When Xiong Meng left Guanzhong, she thought that she might meet Wang Jian on the road. She asked her retainers to pay attention to the carriage with flags on the carriages erected on the carriages. The so-called "local carriages" carry things. Do not, do not, the miscellaneous silk, half different in the space, and half red and half white in the flag.

"I'm old." Wang Jian didn't want to say too much about resigning. What did he promised to Xiong Qi back then? He didn't want to say, after all, this matter has passed. "What is the so-called "Your Majesty does not live in Xianyang and leave Guanzhong?"

Unexpectedly, Wang Jian would ask him about him, and Xiong Meng was a little unnatural in surprise. He forced a smile and said, "Everyone in Guanzhong said that the Chu army was coming, so he went out of Hangu. The soldiers of the Qin Dynasty were all in Daliang, the king and the court were also in Huai County."

After hearing Xiong Meng's words, Wang Jian's eyes changed for a moment. He didn't ask again, but said, "Do you have any wine?"

"Wine?" Xiong Meng was still unnatural. When she heard Wang Jian looking for wine, she laughed and said, "Wine is there. There is naturally wine. People come!"

Chang Wenjun's wine was naturally not the former wine in the army, but the best sake. With wine and meat, the two of them drank happily in the carriage until the sun sets west and immediately entered the lodge. The ox cart and the carriage bid farewell and drove against each other. The carriage hurried into Hanguguan Valley Road and stayed in the east. The ox carriage hurriedly walked thirty miles westward, and arrived at the verge before descending at dusk.

"Your Majesty, if Wang Jian told others about his resignation, he would be afraid..." After resting in the east of Hangu Guan for a night, Xiong Meng remembered the conversations he had with Wang Jian last night in the morning. When he told Yongli, Yongli couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"Nothing happened." Thinking of Wang Jian being involved with him, Xiong Meng's heart was slightly relieved. However, he said a little distressedly: "I can't respond."

Xiong Meng, who was born in a wealthy family, could not become smarter than Yongli's spy. After hearing his sigh, Yongli advised: "Your Majesty is a noble man, why should you respond?"

"How can you not respond..." Xiong Meng was unwilling to continue, but in fact he didn't know what to do when he left Hangu Pass. Last year, the Chu army was defeated by Tianchi Daze and finally failed to attack Guanzhong again. Now 600,000 soldiers attacked Chu, and Wang Jian wanted to delay it for a year. The king was eager to fight the decisive battle before the Chu people avoided the evasion. If the Chu army was defeated, he would not be able to recover no matter what he did.

Qin Dao is like di, and in the soft spring light, Xiong Meng's carriage is quickly sailing towards Luoyang. At the same time, Xiong Jing, who is not convinced, is galloping on the bank of sand and water west of Chenying City. This is not an outing, but a field exploration of the battlefield.

For generals who command battles, it is extremely important to explore the terrain on the spot. Without accurately printing the map in your mind, it is difficult to deduce the entire process of the enemy from approaching, to arraying, and then to charging for the Great Bandit. War does not start with the enemy's formation, but war should start with the enemy's mobilization.

The Chu army retreated, and the Qin army chased after it. The choice of the battlefield was already in the hands of the Chu army. As long as the Chu army blocked the Honggou waterway, the Qin army heading south along the Honggou would have to go ashore. However, the Qin army could also land in advance and then come in line. The terrain of the battlefield and the road to the battlefield should be carefully selected and even constructed carefully.

"Report to the king, this is the land of the Shang Dynasty. "Peng Zong was also riding on the horse, but he did not dare to run. He chased after Xiong Jing ran a horse for a while.

"Chenling Kingdom?" Xiong Jing had not heard of the name of this country, but Peng Zong said that this was a Fang Kingdom in the Shang Dynasty, so it was normal that he had never heard of it.

"The Shang Dynasty's inscription said: 'Going from the prison, he chased Chenling deer without any disaster'. This is the Chenling country. The merchants used to raise deer here to hunt, and there are still rammed earth walls." Peng Zong said. "When the ancestor Zhuang king, he attacked Zheng and Li. Ziliang said: 'Jin, Chu did not care about virtue and fought for troops. It is possible for those who come here. Jin and Chu had no faith, so how could I have faith?' So he turned against Jin and followed Chu. The ancestor Zhuang king and Zheng and Chen joined here.

The sand water of Chen Ying came from Ying River, which was sixty miles away. When it entered Chen, it passed by a hundred miles to Ziwu and south. Therefore, I thought that we should fight to the west of Honggu, not east of Honggu. To the east, there was only a hundred miles of sand water; to the west, although Ying River came from the west, the north was from the west, but the water from the Wu River came from the north."

Peng Zong talked about the terrain west of Chenying, which was about an inverted ‘a’. The sand water is the middle horizontal line, the west side is Yingshui, the east side is Honggou, and Xiangcheng. The shape is this. In terms of specific proportion, the middle horizontal line is sixty miles; on the east side of the Honggou Waterway, Xiangcheng is seventy miles from Chenying; on the west side of the Yingshui Waterway, Xiangcheng is from Yingshui, and the sand water intersection point is about seventy miles.

Peng Zong meant to place the battlefield west of the Ganggou. There were two arrangements here, one was to arrange the north of the sand water; the other was to let the Qin army pass through the sand water, and the Chu army lined the array with Xiangcheng on its back. The array with the sand water on its back can achieve the effect of Li Xin fighting on the back of the water in the battle of Xiangcheng two years ago, and the cavalry could not detour on the flank. Considering that the Qin people had 40,000 cavalry, these 40,000 cavalry were like a heavy hammer, which could break the Chu army's formation at one time, and it was necessary to arrange the formation on its back of the water.

"To the west of the Gangkok, Dao is broad." Zhuang Wudi expressed different opinions. "Daokuan, the Qin people came in line, how can I attack it? Our army should indeed be on the back of the water, but if the Qin people's army had not yet been formed, they should also attack it quickly before it, just like the battle of Da Ao defeating Li Xin."

Zhuang Wudi mentioned the battle of Lao Rongshan last year. The most important reason why Yingshi defeated Li Xin's 200,000 people was that Li Xin did not expand 200,000 people. The road south of Xianghe Pass was rugged, and Li Xin could not expand 100,000 people.

"Meng Tian has 600,000 people. Our army should not fight with him, but should fight before the Qin people." Zhuang Wudi said again. Including the Grand Sima Mansion, the generals led their men to lead two suggestions. One is to fight with him, and fight with him, 600,000 people in a row;

The second is Zhuang Wudi's opinion, just like Li Xin, he attacked hard when the 600,000 Qin army members had not fully launched, disrupting the 600,000 people, and forcing them to collapse. This is entirely possible. There are not many old soldiers in the Qin army, but many new soldiers. Even old soldiers are powerless at this moment.

"Why do you have to do this?" Xiang Chao opposed Zhuang Wudi's proposal. "You should fight before you fight, otherwise, the Qin people will be defeated and blame me. When fighting in a dashing formation, the Qin people will be defeated and fear me, just like in Weinan in the past. Do you think our army will not win?"

"Me?" Unexpectedly, Xiang Chao said such words, Zhuang Wudi really didn't know how to answer. He could only look at Xiong Jing: "The battle between Da Ao defeated Li Xin, and then fought before the formation. This is the case with Li Xin, and this is the case with Meng Tian."

The Battle of Weinan and the Battle of Lao Zhushan were both commanded by Xiong Jing. One formation then fights, and the other not fights. Perhaps only Xiong Jing can tell that is right. Everyone’s eyes were all staring at Xiong Jing. Xiong Jing’s eyes were looking at the gap more than ten miles away. The withered willows on the green ditch shore had already sprouted, and a group of people were carrying the common people to the south.

These are the common people migrating north of Chenying, and they want to gather in the suburbs of Shouying like last time. Xiong Jing looked at these migrating common people and led them to follow him to look at him, not daring that his eyes did not only stay on those big bodies. He turned around and looked around. There were people working on the fields west of Sandshui. Spring has arrived, and farmers have cultivated in the spring.

"The common people are not afraid." Xiong Jing looked around and smiled. Although the Chu army was defeated in the Great Lakes, the common people are not afraid of the battlefield, they are just a short distance away.

"The common people are not afraid, so why should we be afraid?" He said again. This seemed to be answering the dispute between Xiang Chao and Zhuang Wudi, and it seemed to be talking to himself.

"Big Ao Yingming!" Xiang Chao felt that Xiong Jing was standing on his side, and immediately bowed.

"The Qin people are 600,000, our army..." Zhuang Wudi mentioned this shocking number again. Before he finished speaking, the cavalry in the distance was getting closer and closer, shouting anxiously.
