Deciding at this time is a difficult thing. Xiong Jing is determined to fight, but he did not think about what would happen if Wang Jian had not escaped at night like Linzi like he did in the past, but was lined up in the sea of ​​sand to wait for a decisive battle with him?

If you win, there is no need to avoid evasion; but if you lose, there is no possibility to avoid evasion.

The meaning of everyone, including Naoji and Li, is all about stability. If you don’t attack the sand sea, you can at least delay until next spring. If you even have the possibility, the Qin people will collapse due to shortage of food; if you attack the sand sea, no one can guarantee that they can win the 600,000 Qin troops.

It is not a mistake to seek stability. Xiong Jing also had the idea of ​​seeking stability in his heart. However, he instinctively felt that the Qin State would inevitably fight back to death before the collapse. Instead of waiting for the Qin people to counterattack, it would be better to attack while the attack was now possible. The strategic initiative he had lost, and the tactical initiative could not be lost.

With such thoughts, he glanced at the shogunate generals and said, "I would rather be inferior to others than others. If I am freezing, I will fight without delay."

The matter has been discussed very clearly, and Xiong Jing still decided not to delay and to attack while the ice was frozen. Everyone was uneasy, and Peng Zong finally persuaded, "If the Qin people took the opportunity to attack the three places of Lu, Song and Ba... and not to mention the rest, the old Ying will be in danger."

The Ba people were also stationed in Badi, which guarded the Yangtze River and Yishui. If Badi was captured by the Qin army, Qin would once again form a strategic double-team against the old Ying. The land of Lu and Song dynasties could also retreat to the east of the Yangtze River in Huainan, and Badi connected to the Yangtze River in the old Ying Yangtze River. The Yangtze River was lost, the Qin army went down the river, and the Jianghuai defense line might be completely ineffective.

"The foundation of Qin State is the 600,000 Qin troops under Wang Jian's command. So what if Wang Jian is defeated and Qin State is destroyed, the three places are lost?" Xiong Jing asked back. "If Wang Jian wins and our army is defeated, what if the three places are lost?"

"But..." Peng Zong said silly. He couldn't tell whether Xiong Jing was discussing a war or a sophist.

"However, if our army does not fight, and the north wind rises until the next escape, three hundred sea boats can transport 200,000 people in five times; if we move again in April next year, we can transport 200,000 people." E Cao said. "At this time, we don't know the victory or defeat of the Qin people, we don't know the victory or defeat of the Qin people, so it's better not to attack."

"You can win if you don't attack?" Xiong Jing looked at E Cao. He tried his best not to hate this man, but he still felt that he was too determined to be a little disgusted.

"Even if it is not won, you can transport 400,000 more people to Penglai." E Cao said.

"Sima, the E Division, thought our army would definitely not win?" Xiong Jing guessed E Cao's psychology. His assumption was that it was 'unwind'. "If I attack Qin while the ice was frozen, what if I win? If I win, I can save millions of people in Chu, and this is ten times more than 400,000 people."

"However, the Grand Sima Mansion has no strategy to win." E Cao looked at the silent Li Qi again. Every time he fought, the Grand Sima Mansion had a specific strategy, but this time he had no strategy.

"Last year, the Grand Sima Mansion had a winning strategy, but it was still defeated by Daze. Last year, the Grand Sima Mansion had an invincible strategy, but it still defeated the Qin people." Xiong Jing said. "Victory and defeat may be calculated by temples, but it is more adaptable to local conditions and changes randomly. I think if the frozen attack on Qin cannot be won, the Qin people will be ready next year, and the attack on me will be even more unbeatable."

"I think whether to attack Qin or not, we should gather troops to Qifeng when the frozen seal is frozen. I can attack Qin, and the Qin people can also line up to attack me. Six hundred thousand Qin people gathered in the sea of ​​sand, but our army was scattered everywhere. If the Qin people took advantage of this to attack me, there would be no preparation." Xiong Jing's words shocked Li Qi's heart. He spoke loudly and woke everyone up with a word.

Taking the Battle of Lao Tzu Mountain as an example, the 200,000 Qin troops that had not been launched were attacked by 30,000 Ying troops; in order to launch the 300,000 Qin troops, Meng Tian had to land on Changping, 70 miles away, and marched towards Chen Ying on the muddy paddy fields. The Chu and Qin armies were separated by water and water, and the Chu army could not attack the sand sea. It was extremely difficult for Wang Jian to attack the seal. Even if the 600,000 was launched, it would cost a huge price to line up. Different from the ice, the Qin army could come on the ice surface and start line up when it left the camp.

"But..." E Cao was about to say that once troops gathered in Qifeng Lu and Songba, it would be in danger, and suddenly he was stunned.

He realized the logic of attacking the Qin people when the ice was frozen: In order to prevent the Qin army from taking advantage of the ice, the 600,000 troops that were usually inconvenient to be deployed, the Chu army should gather troops at Qifeng when the ice was frozen, otherwise the Qin army would not be able to deal with the attack; and if the Chu army gathered troops at Qifeng, it would be necessary to attack the Shahai immediately, otherwise the Qin people would take the opportunity to attack the three places of Lu, Song and Ba, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

Strict reasoning and Xiong Jing's offensive intentions are exactly the same. The difference is that the former is a helpless act, while the latter is an instinctive act. E Cao understood, and the other generals Sima also understood. The Battle of Frozen was originally a must-fight.

"But..." Zhou Houruo thought of evading. "Two migrations, only 400,000 people."

"Ju Tie Mansion is still in Shouying." Zhuang Wudi reminded. In order to create short-barrel heavy artillery, many craftsmen in the Ju Tie Mansion did not migrate.

"The boys only migrated 200,000 people." Peng Zong also reminded. "There are only 30,000 craftsmen."

"The northeast monsoon is blowing, and boats can ride the wind and return to sail." Li Qie said. "If you are not afraid of the wind and waves, you can also borrow the big valleys that flow north..."

"In winter, the sea is full of waves. Fishing boats and other boats should not return." Xiong Jing immediately opposed it. He actually wanted to oppose the fishing boat. The black tide's current speed was only one or two sections. It would take more than twenty days to take the black tide to Penglai Island by taking the black tide north. If a cold front head went south that day, the small fishing boat that was not resistant to wind and waves would probably capsize.

After thinking about it, he finally said: "You can cross the west, but you can't cross the east to Yangma Island immediately, but you should flow down to Zhuyue. Wait for Zhuyue until next spring, the monsoon turns, and then cross the East China Sea. If our army is defeated, the Qin people will not go to Yue before spring."

When sailing, everyone here doesn't understand it. They know at most common sense about monsoon conversion. Only Li Qi asked: "Zhu Yue is too close and the city is too small, so can't we reach Fan Yu?"

"You can't reach Panyu." Xiong Jing shook his head. "The Yizhou Strait is always strong and the waves are high in winter. If there is a strong wind, the waves are several meters high, and the boats cannot pass. You can only pass through Kuaiji, Ouyue, Minyue, and the islands outside to wait for the wind to change. This time, the boats are walking along the coast and landing on a shore every day. One person per ton and one boy can move to Zhuyue. When the boats are in the wind, the sea boats can still be transported."

When the wind turns in the year is at the end of October, three hundred sea boats can continue to transport. After the wind turns in spring, more than 500,000 tons of boats travel east by the southeast wind, and the only change is the starting point moving south. Li, who understands this, has nothing to say. This is not a satisfactory choice, but the best choice under the current situation.

Li Qi could understand, but the other generals couldn't understand it very much. Tang Shishi led Ruoao to walk alone and didn't care whether to move or not. Tai Ran stood up and asked, "Da Ao, winter is frozen, or not to fight?"

"There will be a fight in winter!" Xiong Jing's tone was as firm as ever. If it weren't for the big zodiac, he would have attacked and drove away hundreds of thousands of Wang Jian's men in spring. October was already cold, and it would have been snowy this winter. If you don't attack at this time, when will you attack?

"I respectfully accept the order!" Although Shashui won the battle, he was bitten by the Qin cavalry. Ruoao still felt angry in his heart until now.

"I respectfully accept the order!" E Cao and E Le, who had previously opposed the attack on Qin, also stood up. There is no way to attack.

"I will accept the order." Xiang Chao was gone, Xiang Liang and his uncle Xiang Le stood up to accept the order.

"I respectfully accept the order." Zhou Hou Ruo also stood up to take the order. Attacking Qin was helpless, but if he really wanted to attack Qin, how could he be afraid?

All the troops were ordered, and Ying's troops did not need to be mentioned. Xiong Jing looked at Li Qi, and Li Qi said, "It is almost mid-October, so we should order the troops to assemble quickly."

It was over in early October, and there were more than 60 days to the La Festival. But no one can guarantee that it would be frozen in December. If it was frozen in late November, then it would be only fifty days. It was not difficult for the Yue, Lu and Song dynasties to gather, but the Ba people gathered from Shouying to Xinying. The Yishui was dry at this time. It was hard to say that they could arrive in Qifeng in fifty days. The tribes of Xiou and Miao people were far away. Many of them could not row boats and could only walk.

"This matter should be done quickly." Li Qi reminded him that Xiong Jing realized that time was very tight. "The army's supplies..."

"I know." Li Qi replied. "The matters of avoiding evasion will be properly arranged."

The decisive battle in front and the evasion in the rear. The established plan for the two things changed all due to the weather. Naojiu, the prefect of the Grand Sima Mansion in Shouying, saw the news sent back from Qifeng. He should have sighed heavily for some reason. The Chu people did not like to delay for a long time. Perhaps the cold Qin people liked wars for years, but the fierce Chu people disliked wars that lasted for several years.

"Can this battle be won?" Li Qie returned to Shouying the morning of the third day. Naojiu didn't want to ask, but he still asked.

"Qifeng Twelve Divisions, the Third Division of Song Divisions, the Fourth Division of Lu Divisions, the Two Divisions of Wu Divisions, and Fan Xiang still has three divisions, and these are 130,000 people," Li Qi calculated the strength of the Chu army. Because many divisions and brigades were short of divisions and brigades, he estimated that there were 130,000 people. "If the Yue came, there would be 15,000 people; if the Ba people came, there might be 10,000 people; if the tribes came, there might be 10,000 people; if the tribes came, there might be 165,000 people.

There are 20,000 Zhao troops, plus 3,000 black clothes, and there are 24,000 people; there are 20,000 troops in the Wei army, and there are 43,000 troops. The total number of troops is 200,000."

Sands were accumulated into towers, and once the Chu army, which had only twelve divisions, could form an army of 200,000 people, which was hard to imagine. However, Naojiu was not convinced. It was not the first time that the decisive battle of the Grand Sima Mansion was carried out. He knew how many troops he could gather. And this was just a force on paper.

"The army gathered and opened the seal, and this matter would inevitably be impossible to hide. The Qin people decided to take control." Li Qi said again. "It is difficult for the Lu and Song troops to gather outside the Wu army. The troops of Yue are the same. The people of Ba are the same. The tribes are too far away..."
