"Li Xin said in the army that he would go straight to Yingdu in this battle and then restore Nanjun." In the middle of Yingdu's bedroom, Naojiu and others were reporting to Xiong Jing. In order to find out the movements of the Qin army, the Chu army repelled cavalry and captured prisoners, with dozens of casualties. Fortunately, the casualties were only on the front line, and Yingdu was still prosperous.

"Yeah." Xiong Jing was looking at a winter coat. When he rescued Qi last year, the soldiers of Chu army were still frostbite, and there were problems with the design of the coat - the cotton coat would absorb a lot of sweat and water, and then quickly freeze to ice, causing frostbite; although the leather boots did not absorb water, they did not absorb the sweat on their feet during the marching, and the sweat would also cause severe frostbite when frozen.

The best way is to wear fur clothes in reverse, and the leather boots are fur-like linings inside. But this is contrary to the usual situation. In this era, the habit of wearing fur clothes is fur on the outside and leather on the inside. However, the new winter coat is the opposite, fur on the inside and leather on the outside. If you wear it like this, you will definitely be laughed at.

Naojiu was reporting the military information on the front line, and Xiong Jing was absent-minded. In fact, he was not really absent-minded, but the information in all aspects was the same. Li Xin asked the Qin army to "go straight to Jingdu and then restore Nanjun". Li Xin's army was only 400,000, so how could he go straight to Yingdu and restore Ying with this little force? This is obviously inaccurate, but at the moment, only this piece of information is the same, and the prisoners of the Hou spies are completely consistent.

"I think this is a restraining act by the Qin people." Naojiu was not confused. "He deliberately showed weakness to lure me to decide with him. If he really decided with him, Li Xin would retreat. At this time, the water seed was not sealed. If the Qin people deliberately retreated, our army would not be enough."

"So it is done according to this." Xiong Jing decided the shape of the military coat before speaking to Naojiu: "When will the War Department think this year will be frozen?"

"Report to the king, Tianwen thinks that the Huai River will not be sealed this year." Li Qi and Naoji came to see Xiong Jing. In addition to him, there is no other way.

"Not sealed?" Xiong Jing was surprised. He thought that although this winter was warm, the Huai River would still freeze, but he didn't expect that the whole winter would not freeze. The advantage of not freezing was naturally to facilitate the rescue of Qi, while the disadvantage was that it was difficult to pursue Li Xin.

When the water passes, there is Yingshui in the south of Xiangcheng City. If you marching in winter, you can ignore the width of the road bridge. If you don’t marching in winter, you can only run two divisions in parallel. The width of the road bridge requires three tracks. One track is a wall, two tracks are a road, and three tracks are the largest road. The plains may be able to ignore the road, but the rivers cannot be ignored.

"Yes, Tianwen thought that the Huai River will not be sealed this winter." Li Qi said affirmatively. It was November. At this time last year, the market was covered with cotton-robed and cotton-padded jackets. It didn't take long before it snowed again. This year, many people in the market were wearing long-sleeved single clothes. This is really a big difference.

"The Huai River is not sealed, which will help our army to rescue Qi, but will not help our army to resign with Li Xin." Naojiu took the conversation. "If our army divides troops to rescue Qi, Li Xin will enter the square city, just like killing and looting last year, and the common people will resent. If we fight with them, our many people will not resign with me, and I will have fewer people than me, so we can only stick to the city and let them do it."

The Qin army could not seize the decisive battle between the main forces of the Chu army, and it was difficult for the Chu army to seize the opportunity of the Qin army to divide the troops. If Qi Qi was not saved, the people of Fangcheng in Qi would be ravaged by the Qin army again. Fangcheng was the habitual sphere of influence of Chu State. Last year, the people had complained a lot. If Qin Shengsheng was allowed to be fully young this year, the road drum outside the gate would be knocked out again.

"How about Wang Jian? Can you pull the camp?" Faced with this dilemma, Xiong Jing asked Wang Jian.

"Report to the king, Wang Jian has not yet set off his camp, but within a few days the army will set off on the camp and attack Guangyi Pingyin." Don't let me say.

"The cattle and horses are still in Hebei, how could Wang Jian attack Pingyin of Guyi?" Xiong Jing said inexplicably. The Qin army collected two, 300,000 cattle and horses just to destroy Qi, but because the Yue people paraded the river on the warships, these cattle and horses were always in Hebei, and the grain and fodder were also piled up in Hebei.

"I don't know." Don't let me answer this question.

"When will the river be frozen?" Xiong Jing asked again. The ice of the river is related to when Henan and Hebei will be connected together, and is as important as the ice of the Huai River.

"The next month will be sealed." Li Qi said. "Wang Jian's army first came to attack Pingyin. The food and fodder in the East County can be eaten until the river is frozen, so Wang Jian will not be short of food and fodder within one month. When Hebei's food and fodder arrive next month, Pingyin has been lost."

"Although that's the case, why are the Qin people so urgent?" Li Qi's words could not eliminate Xiong Jing's doubts, but instead made him even more confused.

"Maybe Wang Jian wanted to quickly break the city and slaughter all the people of Qi." Don't let me interrupt.

"The Qi army has 300,000, not to mention the 300,000 soldiers, even 300,000 pigs can be slaughtered." Xiong Jing, who didn't understand what trick the Qin people were playing, replied unhappily. When talking about the Qi people, he also asked the Qi people, "What does the Qi people mean now? Or will I not give me military power?"

The people of Qi would not give military power, and Li Qi did not speak, but just shook his head. Without the victory in the future, Qi would show the nature of merchants. Qi would definitely not give military power to let Chu destroy Qin. Of course, Qi would not sit idly by and watch Qin destroy Chu.

"Last month, Qi army was asked to garrison behind, what's the matter now?" Xiong Jing also knew that he could not get military power, so he asked about the next thing.

"The people of Qi don't want to." Nao said. "Mr. Anping said that only a large army of 300,000 cannot defeat Qin, and Pingyin cannot reduce troops."

"Battle Qin?" Xiong Jing laughed, "The people of Qi are still thinking about defeating Qin? Don't he know that once Pingyin is pulled out, the 300,000 troops will be wiped out, and Qi will be destroyed even if it is not destroyed?"

"Mr. Anping said that he knew it, but the people of Qi would rather go to the East China Sea and die than be the people of Qin. Now that the Qin people attacked Qi, why would they not refuse the Qin people outside the territory and rather be in the territory?" Nao cunned the news sent by the Qi people and said so.

"He also said: I heard that I have rescued chaos and punished violence and called righteous soldiers. The righteous soldiers are kings. Those who are righteous soldiers are the kings. Those who are forced to rise up after anger are called responding to the army. Those who respond to the army win; those who fight to hate small things, those who cannot bear anger are called angry soldiers. Those who are angry are defeated; those who benefit people and land are called greedy soldiers. Those who are greedy soldiers are defeated; those who rely on the greatness of the country and are proud of the people and want to see the power of the enemy are called arrogant soldiers. Those who are arrogant soldiers are destroyed: these five are not only human affairs, but also the way of heaven.

When the Qin people attacked Qi, Qi had no choice but to rise up, and this was the response. Qin tigers and wolves, who liked profit but had no trust. Invading Qi was the benefit of people's land and goods, and he also maintained the greatness of the country, praised the people's people, and wanted to see the power of Qi, which was a greedy and arrogant army. Now Qi's response was to guard the city to attack Qin's greedy and arrogant army. Qi's army will win, and Qin's army will be destroyed..."

The people of Qi like to discuss and like to speak. The messages sent by them were very long, so they could only choose the ones that mattered. Xiong Jing was initially moved by the sentence "Why not refuse the Qin people from outside the country, but rather the Qin people from inside the country." Last year, the Chu army rescued Qi was "will rather the Qin people from inside the country". Of course, the main reason for rescuing Qi last year was to fight against Wang Jian.

There was some touch in front, and he wanted to laugh after listening. There were no righteous soldiers on the battlefield, such as responding, angry soldiers, and greedy soldiers. There were only brave soldiers and cowardly soldiers on the battlefield, only qualified soldiers and unqualified soldiers. Meng Wu was steadfast, Li Xin was brave and fierce, and Wang Jian was cunning. With the Qin army's soldiers of a hundred battles, the Qi army would definitely be defeated by Wang Jian if they were in the field. Fortunately, the Qi army was only defending the city now, but fortunately, the Qi army had 150,000 Jimo soldiers.

"Since the Huai River is not sealed this winter, the Qi people will defeat the enemy abroad..." Xiong Jing pondered, he was very worried that the 300,000 Qi troops would be annihilated by Wang Jian, but the military power was not in his hands. He had no choice but to do anything about the Qi people.

"It's better to decide with Li Xin in the Fangcheng first." Li Qi said, which was also the decision of the Operations Department. "If the Qi people were defeated, Linzi could still resist it. If Linzi was defeated, and the Huai River was not sealed, our army could quickly go to Wei River to rescue Qi."

"What do Zhu Ao thinks?" Xiong Jing did not nod. He had learned not to express his opinion easily.

"With Ao in the east, everyone thinks that they should attack Li Xin first." Nao said cunningly. "If the Qi people are defeated, it will not be too late to rescue Linzi again."

The first principle of a battle is to concentrate troops, especially for the Chu army with a small force. The Chu army won the battle in Weinan very lucky. If the Qin army had not placed the cavalry in front of the formation and Zhao Zheng's sudden retreat in the fierce battle of Changqi, it would not have caused such a great collapse.

Last time it was a lucky one. This time, in a dignified battle with Li Xin's 400,000 army, it is necessary to concentrate the maximum force. Xiong Jing, who was thinking in his heart, asked: "If we decide with Li Xin, how much force is our army?"

"Our army forces, the fourth division of Ying, the third division of Xiang, the first division of Chen, the first division of Xincai, the first division of Xiacai, the first division of Qisi, the first division of Xiyang, Yiyang, Quyang, Huaiyin and other units, Zhushu and other units in Huainan, the fourth division of Lu, the third division of Song, Wu, the third division of Xitang Chengyang, the fourth division of Jingzhao and Song, and the first division of Dongting, a total of 200,000 people..."

Li Qi read out thirty-two divisions in one breath. At this time, the Chu army was no longer thirty-two divisions. After the Battle of Fuying, Qu Jingzhao and Song strongly demanded expansion, so five new divisions were added. When the battle of Fuying, the divisions were on the front line, Fengjun and Jingzhao took advantage of the chaos to "stole" many strong men in the old Ying and moved to their fiefdoms. With these Dingmen, their troops were able to expand.

This incident was later exposed by my husband's clan and Yushi, and Fengjun and Jing Zhao had to vomit back some Dingkou. They had different learning styles, and each clan and Yushi followed them to learn bad things. The result was that the thirty-two divisions were not satisfied before, but now there were thirty-seven and a half divisions. Except for the landless Qiangyi and the Zhushu and Lu areas in Huainan, which did not want to expand, most of the other divisions had full infantry. Xiong Jing and the Grand Sima Mansion did not stop this situation, but only emphasized that any armored soldiers must have land and houses.

Thirty-two divisions do not count as more than 188,000 cavalrymen, and more than 214,000 cavalrymen. The training of cavalry is impossible to achieve in a short period of time. Except for a few divisions, most of the cavalry of the divisions are not satisfied. Together with the thirty-two divisions, the cavalry of the cavalry is only more than 15,000 cavalrymen, and the average division is about 400, which is only half of the provisions of the organization.

Assembling such a huge force, Xiong Jing heard that the Qu Shi (Dongting Shi) who was originally Shangyu in Bashu Hanzhong, and the Ruoao army (Xitang Chengyang Third Division) were transferred out, and he couldn't help but ask: "How to garrison Shangyu in Bashu Hanzhong?"

"The third division of the E Division, the Yue division, the Cangwu brigade, and the Ba people stationed there, and there were nearly 100,000 people." Li Qi replied.
