Chapter 79 Recovery

The Yellow River's shaped river channel circles northern Shaanxi within the shaped word "Ji", and half of Ningxia is divided by the river channel to the west of the shaped word "Ji". The Hu cavalry came from the west of the shaped word "Ji". The Qin army arranged reconnaissance cavalry in various parts of Henan, but they could not find or cross the river to intercept the cavalry on the other side of the shore.

But this road disappointed Dou Yuzhi, Lu Gao and others. Tens of thousands of people did not have enough horses and could not get supplies along the way, so they could not pass through the uninhabited Hexi land. Instead of walking in Hexi, it would be better to go to Henan. Qin State had forty-four counties in Linhe, Henan. After fighting each county, one county after another, some people could cross the Yinshan Mountains and enter the grassland.

Or maybe while the Qin army was stuck in the road and had just finished harvesting millet and had a few months of military rations on their hands, they entered Shu this winter and joined the Ba people next summer to take the Xia water to return to the old Ying, and perhaps they could catch up with the Qin and Chu decisive battle next year.

Dou Yuzhi and Lu Gao thought about these things. Going north to a flat mountain, the Chu soldiers without horses could carry more corn; going south to the mountains and ridges, the Qin people might set up Guanxianghou in the dangerous place of the river valley, and the soldiers could not bring much dry food. When the two thought about how to leave the Qiang land, Feixun officer rushed over. Dou Yuzhi did not take Feixun, but asked him to read the Xunwen in front of Sima of the generals.

"To: General fights. From: Shouying Grand Sima Mansion. The king decided to support the moon in the evening, when the moon was frozen, the Muze and Ze were frozen..., this victory will lead to the Qin army to be destroyed; this victory will lead to the death of the Chu country. Your army cannot live in Qiang for a long time, so you should quickly attack Guanzhong to be restrained. If there is insufficient corn, you can wait for an opportunity to cross the Qinling Mountains to the south. This order. The Grand Sima Mansion Gong Gong Nao. On the moon in the evening, the early food for Dinghai."

When the king decided to fight with the Qin army, everyone in the hall showed a surprised expression. They couldn't understand why the king wanted to launch a decisive battle now? Now that the decisive battle is launched, if he loses next year, he will not be able to avoid escort. Is the king already sure to win? But if the king is sure to win, why did the Grand Sima Mansion wait for an opportunity to cross the Qinling Mountains and go south instead of pulling out Xianyang?

Xunwen was finished quickly, and when he was reciting, he flowed through everyone's hearts word by word. Once he finished reciting, he suddenly realized that he had forgotten everything. The six gods had no masters and fought Yu Zhi and said, "Read again."

"To: General Fight. From: Shouying Grand Sima Mansion. The king decided to support the moon in the evening and the moon was frozen and the Muze was in conflict with the Qin army..." Feixun officials read the news text with only ninety-nine words. After reading this, several Sima noticed that the date of the news was the moon in the evening, which was the beginning of last month, only one month ago.

If it was a sea boat transmission, Xunwen would not be able to reach Qiang land in a month. This should be a Xunge. The Grand Sima Mansion sent Feixun to Zhenyan Mountain, and the Zhenyan Mountain fast horses arrived here. In addition to time, everyone once again felt that the Grand Sima Mansion had extremely insufficient confidence in victory. It was not clear whether the Qin army was restrained, but it was also possible that the Grand Sima Mansion could not confirm whether its army could receive Xunwen before the decisive battle, and had no hope for restraint.

After reading Xunwen for the second time, the Feixun Officer stepped down. The Mingtang was silent first, and the first was Sima Songji's voice, "The Qin army is all in Fengdao. If our army attacks Guanzhong, we must first break Fengdao."

"The king decided to decide to fight with the Qin people, and the Qin people should know it. Since the Qin people knew it, it should be a false statement to stop at the throne..." Xia Cai Shi led Cai Zhi to murmur, his eyes falling on Lu Gao, which was Lu Gao's judgment just now.

Lu Gao himself didn't feel that he was now being watched by Cai Zhi and being watched by others, and his face was a little hot. He was not sure that the two armies would definitely fight, and his guess was that the Qin army had to fight, not that the Chu army had to fight. Chu State took the initiative to launch a battle that was not very sure. Why? Lu Gao couldn't figure it out.

"Please order the general to quickly order each division to attack Guanzhong." Pan Wuming shouted. "Our army will surely attack Xianyang again!"

Pan Wuming and his twelve years ago were not changed when they followed Xiang Yan into Jiyi. They were still happy when they heard the war and were indomitable. His words excited the generals, and Gui Que said: "Of course, if our army in Guanzhong can attack Xianyang again."

"No." Lu Gao, who was thinking about why the king launched a battle, did not expect that the generals wanted to pull out Xianyang, and subconsciously said urgently. "The Qin people were firm and clearing the fields. Didao reached Xianyang for nearly a thousand miles, and the wind and snow were mixed, and it was necessary to arrive in a month. Along the way, our army still had no food and fodder, no dry firewood, and no cavalry. How could we go to Xianyang to pull out Xianyang?"

"What if that?" Dou Yuzhiji looked at Lu Gao and wanted to know his idea.

"Invade Guanzhong and pull out Chen Cang, you should not go east again." Lu Gao said. "Or go north along the road of Da Wang's past years and exit the Yanshi Pass, pass through Nanyang to Yinshan for winter, and enter the grassland again in spring next year; or go south from Chen Cang to break Dasan Pass, cross the Qinling Mountains and south."

"How about the king?!" Lu Gao said that it was how our army escaped from the difficulties, and he didn't even say how to restrain the Qin people.

"I am helpless in the battle of Daliang." Lu Gao said. "The Qin people have the convenience of boats and oars. And because of the cold this year, our army has been determined to march to Chencang!"

"Nonsense!" Pan Wuming shouted angrily, "The Qin people are all in Guandong. If I pull out Xianyang, the Qin State will be destroyed."

"King of Qin, the Qin court has moved to Henei County, and Xianyang is only an empty city at this time." Lu Gao looked at Pan Wuming and smiled bitterly, not knowing what he was going to pull out an empty city.

"Even if it is an empty city, it will be killed." Pan Wuming still did not give up. He remembered that the last time he attacked Xianyang was because of his kindness and no killing craftsmen. These craftsmen built warships, and the Battle of Daze was defeated by the Qin people.

"Alas! The Qin people gathered their troops in Daliang and must know that I am going to enter Guanzhong. I know that I am going to enter Guanzhong, how could there be craftsmen in Xianyang?" Lu Gao said again. "The general clearly understands that I think it is not urgent to arrive in Xianyang. Now we should quickly pull the camp to enter Guanzhong."

"But our army's grain is all accumulated in Qiang land." The army reminded. "If there is no corn, our army..."

"How much corn is there in the army?" Lu Gao asked. The Qiang land was based on this for 400 miles, and he really didn't want to wait for the corn from the Qiang land to come and set off before setting off.

"Two months at most." The military plan replied after pondering for a moment.

"The military situation is urgent. There is no need to wait for the grain from Qiang land. Our army should quickly go east to enter Guanzhong. Two houses a day, ten days to arrive at Chen Cang, and then pull out Chen Cang to determine where to go." Lu Gao confirmed, and he looked at Dou Yuzhi again, "Whether you restrain the Qin army or return to Chu, you must follow the speed, and you will regret it if you are late!"

"Why." Lu Chuang always supports Lu Gao, and this time it is even more so.

"It should be true." Gui Que also said. "This winter is very cold, one day earlier is one day earlier."

"This is good." Pan Wuming rarely agreed to Lu Gao once. He thought that this little white face was scared by the Qin people.

"Okay. I'll order the entire army to detach the camp the next day." Dou Yuzhi also made up his mind and immediately issued an army order to detach the camp the next day.

It is not easy to detach the camp immediately with tens of thousands of people. It has to ship more than a month of military rations. The time for detachment to the camp will be very tight the next day. In less than a quarter of an hour, the general in the Mingtang led Sima disappeared without a trace, including Cheng Kui, who had just entered the Mingtang to send a message with the wind and snow.

Lu Gao was not in Mingtang or Lucai's siege, so he went straight to the shogunate in the north. The shogunate was also very busy at this time. Since the general had already decided, the shogunate had to pack his luggage and formulate a reconnaissance plan and marching plan according to the general's wishes. Lu Gao was stunned when he looked at the map that had not been put away. No matter what, he could not have thought that the decisive battle was initiated by the Chu army.

This is completely contradictory to the previous idea of ​​the plan to avoid evasion: If there is no confidence in victory, why should we fight to the decisive battle? If there is a certainty in victory, why should we avoid evasion? Li is a cautious person and he is unlikely to make such a contradictory decision. The only possibility is that the king wants to launch a decisive battle as soon as possible, but why should the king do this?

Lu Gao couldn't think of the reason. However, there were often no definite reasons for the things on the battlefield, only subjective conjectures. Because of this subjective conjecture, one or even both sides would unexpectedly invest heavily in heavy troops and seize a worthless target. The decisive battle of two thousand miles away could not help much, but this decisive battle could help others out of trouble.

Lu Gao knew the Qin people more and more. He believed that the 100,000 Qin troops led by Bai Lin had gone east. Even if not all 100,000 people went, it would be 80,000, because some people had to be left to strengthen the walls and clear the fields so that their army could not get food and dry firewood. In addition, the entire Guanzhong was empty, and all the soldiers who could fight had been transferred to Daliang to fight. If he won that battle, his own 30,000 or 40,000 people would not change the overall situation. If he lost that battle, it would not matter whether Xianyang was lost, because Qin had already perished.

The snow was flying, and the north wind yelled. The wind was so strong that the tiles on the roof were swept up by the north wind, and then they fell heavily to the ground. This sound shocked the shogunate counselors. Their fear was not calmed down. The closed door was blown open by the north wind for some reason and it made a "bang" sound. The snowflakes blew in, and the documents that were packing on several tables flew all over the ground. Some paper pieces flew into the brazier, and some were quickly snatched out by the staff to destroy the Mars above. Some were not snatched out in time, and could only watch them ignite bright flames under the baking of charcoal.

‘Unfortunate!’ Lu Gao’s heart skipped a beat and he felt something was wrong. He was controlled by some force and kicked over the brazier with a flying step. Regardless of the red charcoal fire on the ground, the sheep fur quickly pounced on him and put out the flames on the paper.

"Your Majesty..." The staff members looked at Lu Gao strangely, but he looked at the burnt text on his hands and the burnt yellow whole body smiled happily: "It's just a small ill, and the words are all there."

"Your Majesty, the fur clothes are fire..." The staff members pointed at Lu Gao's gradually smoking sheep fur. He hurriedly shook the sheep fur and wiped out the sparks on the wool, but a small hole was burned on the sheep fur.
