Under Xiong Jing's gaze, there was silence in the shogunate. Xiong Jing was about to ask the generals to return to the camp with written orders. When he was about to retreat tomorrow, someone coughed on his side. It was the right Shi Yixian. "The King Rong Bing." He said.

"I heard that during the battle of Bi, the ancestor Zhuang, the ancestor King Zhuang, took Zuo Guang to expel Zhao Zhan, and the Jin people sent a car to rebel. When people were shocked, Sun Shu said, "I would rather be weak in others than others, and no one would be weak in me. The poem says: "The Yuanrong ten chariots are used to start the journey first." The ancestors are the ancestors. The Military Records say: "The ancestors have the intention to seize people." They are the ones."

The two left and right officials had the responsibility to give advice, but they rarely gave advice. It was just that this time the matter was of great importance, and many generals were dissatisfied, and the older Right officials only gave advice. As soon as he opened his mouth, he saw the old things from hundreds of years ago. Although there was no new intention, it greatly eased the atmosphere in the shogunate.

"The people of Chu are good at first and are good at forcing them. They retreat without fighting in Guanzhong, and the soldiers are unwilling to..."

"So what if I don't want to?" Xiong Jing looked at the generals in the tent as he spoke. He said to the Right Historian and to the generals. "Do you know how many men surnamed Mi in the country are? How many men of Chu people in the country are?"

"I don't know." The State of Chu has never expected the people for hundreds of years, and there is no definite number of Ding's mouth. "However, does the king know the nature of the people of Chu?"

"The nature of the Chu people?" Xiong Jing finally looked back at him. When the right Shi saw Xiong Jing, he nodded.

"I have said that the people of Chu are good at first and are good at forcing them. The king thinks that our great Chu army will advance when they beat drums, and when they retreat when they are sounding. However, I read the historical books and know that our great Chu army can only advance, not retreat..."

The Right Historian's words made Xiong Jing stunned again. He had heard similar remarks from Xiang Yan. The Chu army is indeed not an army that can advance or retreat, it is an army that can only advance but not retreat.

The Right Historian was still talking in detail, but Xiong Jing smiled bitterly. He felt that everything was wrong. He had formulated a strategic defense plan for the Chu army a long time ago, and even tinked out a defense line in North Vietnam - Wuling. In fact, except for Xiayi building a city (which was considered by the Chu people to advance), the other city building plans were not recognized by the generals.

Before the Ao system, he lived in the Qu, Zhao and other clans, surrounded by court ministers. He did whatever he said and worshiped whatever he wanted. So he thought he was right. After the Ao system, most of the court officials changed. From the mouths of these unrestrained people, he realized that the defense line of the North-Wuling of the Vietnamese North-Wuling was repeatedly criticized by the generals.

He was a little alert at that time, but this alertness was just an apparent alert. He did not really carefully understand the temperament of the Chu people and did not understand their preferences. Until today, he found that he was completely wrong, outrageously wrong.

In the history he knows, some people lie on firewood and taste gall, some people hang out of their crotch, some people snatch money, and some people go through a thousand miles. These are regarded as enduring humiliation and being praised and spread. Now, the reason why these examples were spread is that they all succeeded. If you think about it carefully, the evaluation of later generations actually only reflects one principle: success, kings will succeed and defeat the bandits.

Life and death, victory and defeat, survival or death are supreme in the hearts of some people, but in the eyes of the real Chu people, these are not necessarily really important. The Chu people cannot sleep on firewood and taste gall, cannot bear the humiliation under the crotch, and will never accept coins and surrender, and will not be able to go thousands of miles.

The Chu people did not make choices based on life and death, and did not consider issues based on victory or defeat. "Man", "Jingman" and "Nanman" are the names of the Zhou people to the Chu people. Excluding the contempt, this description is appropriate. "Man" means to be desperate and do not care about consequences. The Chu people have never been realists, but idealists; they have never been materialists, but voluntaryists.

Although he had noticed this very early, he did not delve into it. He thought he was rational, but in fact he was completely wrong. He did not need any defense line in North Vietnam, nor did he need any Xiangfan City, nor any strategic mobility. What the Chu people really wanted was the reckless Man Ba. If they lost, they were willing to accept the loss, win, and be proud.

The Right Shishi had finished speaking, and Xiong Jing was still laughing. He was laughing at himself as stupid as he was, stupid as he thought that his ministers were thinking the same as him; at the same time, he felt that he was inferior, so humble that he considered everything based on success or failure. This should not be the thinking that the king and nobles should have.

"King..." Xiong Jingruo was immersed in his own world without anyone else, and his close ministers felt strange under the lights. Chang Jiang whispered, but Xiong Jing had no response. When he shouted again, there was an urgent report from outside the shogunate and ordered the soldiers to come in.

"Report to the king, General Gongshu said: The road is open when the rooster crows."

"What does it mean?" It was precisely because Wangchuan was blocked that the Chu army wanted to withdraw. Unexpectedly, the road was opened. Cheng Tong and others were overjoyed. Zhuang had no land, and Ele was full of surprise.

"The Wu Cannon School used siege cannons to siege the rock walls, and the rock walls collapsed several times. General Gongshu thought that the way could be opened when the rooster crowed." Lingbing said again.

"King," the rooster crowed at 1:30 in the middle of the night. Zhuang Wudi, who reacted, looked at Xiong Jing. "If the road is open when the rooster crows, I think it is possible to fight. However," Zhuang Wudi looked at the shogunate civil servant who was distributing the combat plan and said again: "It is necessary to change the combat strategy quickly, otherwise the time will not be enough."

The road is connected when the rooster crows. This season is dawn in the dawn, which means there are only two hours left. After dawn, the Qin army assumes a floating bridge and crosses the Ba River in large numbers. The front army of the two armies may be fighting in early food or in the silence, and large-scale formation battles will not be later than noon.

The Chu army must issue a new combat plan within one hour. Before dawn, the divisions arrived at the guidance position. It would be best to repel the small-scale confrontation between the Qin army after dawn and block the Qin army under the Bailuyuan. At the same time, the cannon carts and horse carriages in the mountain stream need to leave the Sichuan quickly.

In infantry, every twenty soldiers were equipped with a carriage, and 100,000 Chu troops were 5,000 horse-drawn carriages; plus a regiment of artillery carriages, plus baggage, medical camp, command, and shogunate carriages, there were as many as 7,000 horse-drawn carriages in the entire army. If these carriages were lined up in a single column, the length from beginning to end would reach 170 miles. If the carriage at the end of the team wanted to get to the front, it would take nine and a half hours (in fact, the carriage would take no more than fifteen miles to leave the river, only one hour, and the rest would be waiting time).

If the road is opened at dusk, these carriages can leave Sichuan before and after midnight, but now it is two hours late, and with accidents and blockage, the time when the carriages of the entire army leave Sichuan may be dragged until dark. Now it can be achieved to reduce the number of carriages out of Sichuan. If there are only three thousand carriages, then four hours later, that is, early food, and around Yanshi, the Chu army can move its troops north.

Zhuang Wudi was full of time, carriages, long paths of marching, Qin army, floating bridges, military formations... Fortunately, the strategists in the shogunate had already formulated a combat plan after the opening of Wangchuan Road. The documents only needed to modify the time and the problems caused by the delay of time. He entered the shogunate without leaving.

Xiong Jing did not blame him for his rudeness. Before and during the war, the strategists in the shogunate were the busiest. They had to come up with the combat plan as quickly as possible and then convey the entire army. Of course, this complicated and meticulous documentary work may not be necessary in the eyes of the generals.

After Zhuang Wudi withdrew, Xiong Jing began to laugh at himself again, feeling mostly lost. The generals did not understand his psychology and thought he was angry because of his dissatisfaction just now. When Chengtong and Pan Wuming were about to avenge him, Xiong Jing yawned and said, "I am tired of being honest and sleepy. Since I have to fight, then fight. The battle strategy is fully responsible for the shogunate. You and others must act according to your order, not slack off, and not act without any action."

The troops were eager to fight, and it was impossible to be lazy. What Xiong Jing was really worried about was to act without action. After he finished speaking, the generals said: "I respectfully accept the order!"

The war was about to come, but the king went to bed and the generals looked at each other helplessly. They were not ready to go to bed. Half an hour later, they received the order of combat. After listening to Zhuang Wudi's last explanation, the generals went back to their camps and issued orders.

On Bailuyuan, the Chu army's shogunate was empty. On the other side of the Ba River, Zhao Zheng, who could not sleep, once again summoned Wei Liao, Zhao Yong, Meng Tian and others to discuss tomorrow's war. Except for the time when he witnessed the desperate attack of the Zhao army and the rescue of the Chu army's cavalry at the head of Xianyang City, he had never experienced the war personally.

Central Army, Right Army, Left Army..., square array, circular array, sparse array, number array, cone array, goose array, hook array...; these things that only existed in the short language of the book before will be truly displayed in front of him tomorrow. It is different to read the book on the book and to watch it in person. Not only is he not afraid, but he is a little excited. But the more excited he is, the more worried the ministers are. What if the Chu army injured the king tomorrow when fighting against the Chu army, what should we do?

Zhao Gao, who rushed back quickly while Zhao Zheng changed his clothes, said: "If the king is wrong, wait, you wait... all are death sentences!"

Zhao Gao had an atmosphere on his face and was particularly rude to Wei Liao. Seeing him pointing at him, Wei Liao said, "The king insisted on personally forming a formation, what can I do?"

"I don't know what you can do. I only know that the king must not make mistakes," Zhao Gao said. "You must not let the king watch the battle on the king's boat!"

It was Zhao Zheng’s own proposal to watch the battle on Wang Zhou. Wang Zhou was about three or four feet above the water. Standing on Wang Zhou, watching the battle, the Chu army without the Zhou army could not fight, and could also parade back and forth on the battlefield. But Zhao Gao always thought that Wang Zhou was dangerous. Wasn’t King Zhao of Zhou drowned by the Chu people?

"Let's wait..." As Wei Liao spoke, Zhao Zheng, who had finished changing clothes, had already returned. Seeing this, Zhao Gao quickly flashed to the side and pretended to have said anything, but his eyes were still staring at Wei Liao, Meng Tian and others.

"If the Jing people attacked me with witchcraft, what would our army be? Can the powerful crossbows reach witchcraft?" Zhao Zheng was thinking about the details of the battle formation. What he was most worried about was the witchcraft. The only thing he could rely on was Bai Di's powerful crossbows.

"The two armies have not yet fought, so I don't know." Zhao Yang said. "However, when I look at it, the Jing people's witchcraft has the farthest distance to more than 400 steps, which is not as powerful as our army."
