Chapter 86: Coming to Qin

Not changed

Waiting for the frozen and waiting for the Qi people is the established strategy of the shogunate, but unfortunately the entire army was about to go north without waiting for the entire army. At dawn, while it was not snowing, the news of the camp was hurried to Shouying. When he heard the word "bake" and was stunned.

"The Qin people have already attacked Daliang, and Zhao and Wei are in danger." Li Qi saw the news first and knew better about the situation ahead.

"Why did the Qin people attack Daliang?" Nao Ji couldn't understand why Wang Jian did this.

The Qin army's attack on Daliang was worthless. Even if it occupied this city, it would only obtain another larger sand sea camp. No matter how big the sand sea was or how strong the city wall was, once the ice-crossed Chu army attacked west of Daliang, the Qin army's logistics line would be completely cut off. The Qin army had at least 60 lieutenants, and the later gathered more than 70 lieutenants. In addition to the Lifu and Niu and Horse in the army, this was more than one million people. If more than one million people were trapped in Daliang, they would definitely not support the melting of the ice and snow next spring.

It is impossible for the Qin army to defend Daliang. If it is to destroy Zhao and Wei, why not wait until after the battle? If the battle fails, what if Zhao and Wei are destroyed? If the battle is victorious, Zhao and Wei will not talk about attacking and destroying. If they know that the situation is hopeless, they will voluntarily send envoys to surrender. In this case, why did Wang Jian waste his precious troops on Daliang City?

Naoji's question was also Li Qi's question. Because of insufficient intelligence, the Yin of the Operations Department could only say: "The Qi army is about to arrive, and at this time, we can attack Daliang. One can decide to fight with me before the Qi army arrives, and the other can make the Zhao and Wei army not help me."

"If the Qi people are not established, why do you fight? You can only broaden your troops." Naojiu knew the situation of the Qi army. This was an unstructured army. "The generals of Zhao and Wei were destroyed, and the trapped beasts were still fighting, let alone the two countries of Zhao and Wei?"

Li Qi's answer still cannot answer Naoji's doubts. He believed that Wang Jian would know better than himself about the situation of the Qi people and Zhao Wei. If Zhao Wei really wanted to surrender to Qin, he would not let the traitors steal the city gate and set fire to the city. This just shows that the Qin people's infiltration of the Zhao and Wei countries was not successful, and they would not adopt this method if they were successful.

Nao Ji didn't believe it, and Li Qi had no choice but to get the only information he got. Based on the existing information, he could only make such a lack of convincing analysis. "After this matter, what should we think about the defeated general?" He talked about another topic. "If the country is defeated, the country will be destroyed, and Da Ao may die in Daliang..."

Since there is victory, there will be defeat. The Grand Sima Mansion not only considers victory, but also has to consider defeat. However, this is a secret discussion in the mansion and will not be announced to the public. In the early morning, Li Qi's words made the already cold court even colder. Nao Ji knew what Li Qi was thinking, and he pursed his lips tightly. After a while, he said: "With the nature of Da Ao, we will not return. Moreover, our Chu army overthrows the army and kills the generals, how can Da Ao return? If Da Ao returns, what is the land of Chu? The King of Qin will not find his body, and he will search the land of Chu..."

"Since there is Xinying, Da Ao has to return to Xinying, not Chu." Li Qie said.

"If Da Ao does not die, the King of Qin will punish me, Chu people." Naojiu still shook his head. "After Da Ao dies, I will send envoys to surrender to Qin."

"Grand Sima!" Li Qi suddenly jumped up from the mat. If he hadn't known Naoji well, he would have almost thought he was the King of Qin.

"I am one of the Ao of Chu. This is a method of wartime. The Grand Sima was the chief minister of Chu. After Da Ao's death, Chu regarded the chief minister as the emperor. After this battle, he was defeated and surrendered to Qin." Naojiu looked solemn, and his eyes were only staring at the wall of the court.

"It's a mistake for the Grand Sima. The king of Qin, the king of tigers and wolves, must kill the Mi surname and then quickly surrender to Qin!" Li Qie took a few deep breaths and said calmly.

"The king of Qin, tigers and wolves, will naturally kill my surname Mi. However, if no one surrenders to Qin, the Qin army will chase the city and pull out. According to the Qin army rules, the siege of the city must be beheaded at 8,000 levels before we can win the argument. My Chu people will die." Nao sighed. "If I surrender to Qin, I can save my Chu people. Si Yin really hopes that only women and children will be left in our Chu and Zhao countries."

Naojiu's tone of speech was emotional, as if he was talking about something other people's business. Although Li Zhi was smart and knew that he was right, Chu State could not die in battle like Zhao State, and only women and children were left. But emotionally he still couldn't accept Naojiu's choice. This even stung his nerves and made his face twitch. He was not afraid of death, but he couldn't accept the shame of surrendering to Qin, even if the surrender was not him but Naojiu.

Naojiu looked at him and didn't know how to comfort him, but this was the only way to preserve the people of Chu after the defeat. In the unchanging history, after Xiang Yan's death, the State of Chu surrendered; after Xiang Yu's death, all the lands of Chu surrendered, but Lu's lands did not surrender. The people of Lu did not surrender, but they did not believe that Xiang Yu was really dead in battle. When the Han envoy sent Xiang Yu's head, they surrendered immediately.

Surrender is indisputable, but after Xiang Yan's death, Chu State did not surrender to Qin, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang would definitely not survive; after Xiang Yu's death, Chu State did not surrender to Han, and the seventh states of Han will inevitably be in chaos. The true destruction of the Chu people was not in Qin but in Han, while the destruction of the Zhao people was far ahead of the Chu people. When Qin was destroyed, only Chu and Qi countries were restored by themselves. When Zhao State restored by Chen Sheng, it was Chen Sheng who sent military officials to cross the Yellow River north to restore Zhao State; when Qi State was taken advantage of the situation, Tian Dan took advantage of the situation, not only raised his own troops to restore the country, but also drove away Zhou City sent by Chen Sheng to restore Qi State.

Li Qi's nerves tingled, his face twitched for a while before saying, "If Da Ao knew, he would definitely not allow it."

"At that time, Da Ao had passed away." Nao's voice was very loud. "After surrendering to Qin, I should go to Huangquan to apologize to the king."

"The king will not allow it!" Li Qi was excited. "And I have the sixth division and a brigade in Guanzhong..."

"I have ordered this sixth division and one brigade to go north to Beidi County after hearing the defeat. Next spring and summer, the East Tuo North Korea went to Xinying." Naojiu didn't want to talk anymore, so he said, "Si Yin is tired, please retreat. The transportation carriages and horses are ready. If you are defeated, please go to Xinying quickly, thinking that you will be able to get back to Chu in the future..."

Li Qi did not hear the final order at all. The news that Naoji ordered the 1st Brigade of the 6th Division of Longxi shocked him. This meant that the idea of ​​defeating Qin had not been in Naojiu's mind for a long time, but had been thinking for a long time. Looking back at the little things they got along with, he should have thought about how to clean up the end of the defeat last year.

"He Yan, Grand Sima?" Shentong looked at Li Qie's return without any lordship, thinking that his idea had been rejected by Grand Sima.

"What words?" Li Qi recalled what Shen Tong said just now. He was hurt by Naojiu's words before he could speak in the court. Seeing Shen Tong looking at him, he pondered for a moment and said, "Where is the person?"

"In Chen Ying." Shen Channel. "At that time..."

"No one knows?" Li Qi didn't want to know the cause and effect of the matter. He just wanted to know how many people knew about it.

"No one knows it." Shen Channel. "Only I, Zhao Duan, Jing Fei..."

"If anyone who knows this matter cannot move to Xinying, he will die." Li Qi interrupted Shen Tong again.

"Yi." Shen Tong said.

"Tell Chen Ying that the army has already set off its camp this morning, so we must reach Daliang as soon as possible." Shentong, the army's departure, was not qualified to read it, and suddenly he was shocked to find out. "It's in the army..."

"I will go to Xunzhuang Wudi immediately. Zhuang Wudi should agree to this matter. Just look for Zhuang Wudi." Li sighed. He knew that it was inappropriate without Naojiu's permission, but Naojiu had surrendered to Qin, so what else could he not do. "After this matter, you bring my family to Xinying."

After the boats heading eastward returned in the north wind, the last group of boys and craftsmen took boats to Zhuyue in Zhufang. Under the northeast monsoon, except for the sea boats, warships, big boats, and fishing boats that have extremely high requirements for the wind direction, they can travel back and forth between Zhufang and Waiyue many times. Therefore, the migrating craftsmen and boys are no less than plans, but more than plans.

However, this has caused two hidden dangers. As planned, by the third evacuation of next spring, a total of 300,000 tons of transportation tonnage will be used to transport grain and fodder. This figure has been calculated, for the 31.5 million people transported by the Heichao Airlines route and the 330,000 people who have been evacuated for the third spring next spring. Even so, the 330,000 people who have been evacuated for the third time have only one year of food.

To transport more people but not more grain, these people have to stay in Zhuyue until next summer or even autumn, and Xinying may not have enough food. In addition to the Qin army, the Qin army may face Zhuyue in the spring next year, and the people who transport more may not be able to move away in time. Twenty gunboats plus the ten newly launched this year, thirty gunboats may not be able to stop the Qin army from moving south.

As the Yin of the Operations Department, Li Qi will get used to thinking carefully whenever he talks about anything. After instructing Shentong, he subconsciously shook his head and let himself come back from these thoughts, and his thoughts jumped into the matter that he was going to deal with now. He sent to Feixun to Qifeng, and twenty Chu troops were advancing towards the sea of ​​sand in the snow.

This morning, Muze Fengze was three inches thick in ice, and could only march in two columns. The Chu army had to walk around the shore. It was ninety miles away from the sand sea, and the snow fell on the road was not frozen. The artillery and supplies could be transported by sleds. The soldiers did not have sleds. It was difficult to walk in the snow with one foot deep and one foot shallow. The marching plan formulated by the shogunate was to march seventy miles today to camp on the south bank of Honggou, and build a bridge to cross the Honggou and the gulf the next day, and attack the Sand Sea camp.

Twenty divisions were far fewer than the Qin army. Although the fourth divisions advanced together, each division marched in four columns, and the marching length of the entire army was still twenty miles away. Standing at the head of the Qifeng city wall, four red arrows penetrated straight to the north on the vast snowy field, and they were unable to return. Looking at the troops driving out of the camp and heading north quickly, Lu Yangyan didn't know why the Sima Zhuang of the army called himself up here. Ying's army was about to set off soon.

Zhuang Wudi just smiled when he got close to him. When he was very close, he whispered a few times in his ear. Lu Yangyan was startled when he heard this, but he quickly calmed down. He had long had such thoughts, and it was rare that Zhuang Wudi thought of him with him. However, when he thought about it, he shook his head slightly, "This is difficult, if it is..."

"If so, this matter must be done." Zhuang Wudi said. "You..." His voice lowered again until Xiong Jing's shout came from the curtain, "Where is Lu Yangyan?"
