General Qin

"A large number of cavalry from the Chu army appeared in the west of Qiyi, and they drove back the scouts sent by our army?"

Suishui Qinying, when Zhao Tuo received the information from the scouts, he was surprised, but a look of joy flashed in his eyes.

Fortunately, he was brought out by Wang Jian, and he sought stability in everything.

When he found out that the time for the defeated army in Qiyi to appear was wrong, Zhao Tuo had doubts in his heart, so he sent people to the west to search.

The result just proved that Zhao Tuo's doubts were right.

Under normal circumstances, after a big defeat, there should be scattered soldiers running around trying to survive.

But to the west of Qiyi, instead of a large number of routs, the heavily armed Chu cavalry was driving and killing the scouts sent by the Qin army, preventing the Qin people from exploring the situation in the west.

So even though the Qin army hadn't found out what was behind the Chu cavalry, Zhao Tuo could guess very well.

"If you want to use thousands of people from Qiyi to lure me to send troops, when our army goes south, the Chu army from the west can rush forward and wipe me out in Qiyi. To be able to send so many false soldiers to lure me, this time the main force of the Chu army There will be at least 20,000 to 30,000 people."

"With so many troops, how dare Xiang Yan send him away from Huaiyang? In order to avenge Xiang Qu, he even lost the state of Chu? Or is it that the general has been defeated by Xiang Yan, so that he can calmly send troops to look for me? revenge?"

Zhao Tuo frowned.

The possibility of Wang Jian being defeated was first ruled out by him. With the Qin army occupying a large advantage, it is impossible for Wang Jian to be defeated, so there must be a reason for the Chu army to come east this time.

"It doesn't matter, since this matter is fraudulent, I won't be fooled."

"Shejian, Zhao Guang. Send more sentries along the Suishui River. Once you find the enemy, you will light up the smoke and report. Continue to send more cavalry to investigate on the south bank of the Suishui River!"

"If there are too many enemy troops, we will move out of the camp and head north, and repeat the old Xiangqu incident."

Zhao Tuo's eyes narrowed slightly, and he immediately issued a military order.

His tactics this time are still arranged according to "the enemy advances and we retreat, the enemy is tired and we fight".

If you can't beat the enemy head-on, just retreat to Pengcheng.

...

After a night's rest in the Chu Army's barracks, more than 40,000 elite Chu Army soldiers are packing their bags and leaving camp.

Jing Tong accompanied Xiang Yan on the road in the camp, and suggested: "Ling Yin, then Zhao Tuo was too cautious and only sent cavalry to investigate. I am afraid that our traces have been leaked, and the ambush will not succeed. It is better to send troops across Cross Sui River, annihilate Zhao Tuo there, and avenge General Xiang."

Jing Tong was defeated twice by Zhao Tuo, and he felt quite dark in his heart. If he was asked to lead the army to fight Zhao Tuo, he would not dare.

But this time the situation is different from the previous ones. The number of the Chu army is 50,000 elite, which is more than double that of the Qin army under Zhao Tuo's command. The leader is Xiang Yan, the famous general of Chu. situation.

After learning how powerful Zhao Tuo was, Jing Tong was very afraid of this young Qin general, and it would be best if he had the opportunity to kill him here.

Xiang Yan shook her head.

"If Zhao Tuo goes south and bites my bait hook, I will definitely move forward and wipe him out here. But this son is guarding Sui River now, like Wang Jian who sits firmly in the army camp, but it is difficult to deal with. If I wave If the army goes north, he might try to lure me back to Pengcheng just like he did with my son."

Speaking of this, Xiang Yan's voice became a little helpless: "If it wasn't for the disaster of subjugation, I would have learned the tricks of this kid. But now, it's not my time!"

"It's been nearly 20 days since our army left Chen Ying. I'm afraid it will only be a few days before we lose that place."

Xiang Yan couldn't help turning her head back, looking towards the west in the direction of Chen Ying.

From a distance of hundreds of miles, he seemed to be able to see the battlefield where hundreds of thousands of troops gathered. At this moment, the clouds were overcast, and the war was about to break out.

He, Xiang Yan, should have been there, leading an army of hundreds of thousands to fight Wang Jian to the death, seeking the last chance for Chu.

But now, because of the persecution of the murderer and usurper, Xiang Yan had no choice but to abandon Chen Ying's hundreds of thousands of Chu people and lead an army of 50,000 to go east to find another way out for Chu.

"Zhao Tuo, ringworm and scabies."

"Wang Jian, Fang is in serious trouble."

"If our army entangles Zhao Tuo here for too long, when Wang Jian breaks Chenying and comes, I'm afraid he won't be able to leave even if he wants to. Since I can't trap and kill Zhao Tuo, I don't bother to bother him. Gather the elite soldiers, food and fodder, and then cross the Huai River in the east."

"Young Master Qi has definitely received my news, and will lead Jiangdong's army to the north to meet me at Huaiyin. At that time, the 50,000 elite soldiers in my hands, together with Young Master Qi's Jiangdong army, will have the power to fight the Qin army again." "

Xiang Yan looked sideways at Jing Tong, with a smile on the corner of her mouth.

"Zitong, I want to follow what Tian Dan did in the past."

"If it succeeds, we will have the possibility to restore Huaibei and the state of Chu again!"

That's right, Xiang Yan's retreat eastward this time is to imitate Tian Dan's recovery in the past.

He wanted to use Chen Ying's hundreds of thousands of Chu troops and Shou Chun's 20,000 elite troops to consume the Qin army, and then use the vast Huaibei land to disperse the Qin army's forces.

In the end, Xiang Yan and Xiong Qi defended Huainan with elite soldiers, resisted Qin, and waited for the opportunity to restore the country.

In the past, the five kingdoms conquered Qi, and the people of Yan occupied more than 70 cities in Qi. The huge Qi was almost destroyed, and the situation was even more serious and dangerous than that of Chu today.

But in the end, Le Yi left. Tian Dan turned defeat into victory by relying on a mere Jimo, regaining all the cities and towns of Qi State in one fell swoop, and rebuilding the universe.

He Xiang Yan might not have this possibility.

After all, Wang Jian is old.

Xiang Yan is ten years younger than Wang Jian!

The Chu army relied on Huainan to hold on. If Huainan couldn't hold it, they would retreat to Jiangdong.

If Jiangdong can't hold it, then retreat to the land of Baiyue.

As long as he, Xiang Yan, kept carrying it to death, he would always be able to beat Wang Jian to death.

You Wang Jian, an old dead wood in his sixties, is in a foreign country, and he will definitely not adapt to the environment. How long can he live here?

Once Wang Jian died, Xiang Yan could take the opportunity to counterattack both sides of the Huai River and regain the old land of Chu State in one fell swoop.

All this is not impossible.

Tian Dan has already set an example for him.

You, Wang Jian, and I are wasting national strength, so I, Xiang Yan, will be wasting life with you.

This is Xiang Yan's strategy for restoring the country!

After listening to Xiang Yan's analysis, Jing Tong couldn't help but nodded in agreement after being astonished.

"Greetings, Yin."

...

At this time, at the time when Zhao Tuo was holding on to Sui Shui, Xiang Yan led his troops to the east.

The Huaibei battlefield, where hundreds of thousands of troops from the Qin and Chu countries confront each other, has also reached the final moment of decisive battle.

"Has there been chaos in Huaiyang Chu camp for several days in a row?"

"Has the nobles of the Chu Kingdom led troops away?"

In the land of Huaibei, the Qin camp is the commander-in-chief.

Wang Jian's face showed joy.

Although he was unable to find out the specific situation inside the Chu army because of the strict precautions of the Chu army, the various performances of the Chu army in the past few days were just signs that the food and fodder had been exhausted!

The soldiers were dissatisfied with lack of food, and the nobles lost confidence and led their troops back to their fiefs.

Everything indicated that the order of the Chu army was on the verge of collapse.

"It's a little earlier than the old man expected, but it's almost there."

Wang Jian stood in the tent and ordered loudly: "You generals, send out cavalry to closely monitor the movements of the Chu army."

"If the Chu people collapse and retreat, we will send our troops south, chasing death and chasing north!"

"If he, Xiang Yan, wants to fight desperately, he will lead the Chu army to attack. Our army will strictly guard the barriers, and wait until their strength is exhausted and the army collapses, and then counterattack and destroy the enemy, so as to achieve full success!"

"We will follow the general, defeat the Chu army, and destroy the Jing people's society!"

All the generals clapped their hands together, their expressions extremely excited.

After more than half a year of confrontation, it's finally time to decide the winner.

...

At this moment, the Qin army camp at Shangcai.

As a military marquis, Li You also received that the Chu army was exhausted and was about to collapse. The Qin army is about to counterattack on a large scale and defeat the enemy's order in one battle.

"Very good!"

"I, Li You, have made great achievements, and I will be ashamed now!"
