Infinite War Begins with Cao Thief

Chun Shen Jun is troubled, and Xiang Yan, another general of Chu State, is also troubled.

Xiang Yan couldn't understand the thinking of the Chu monarchs and ministers.

Change deployment?

Divide your troops and cross the river?

Doesn't this give the enemy a chance to defeat each one?

What's more, can you cross the river if you want to?

Xiang Yan looked at the vast river and sighed.

To be honest, Xiang Yan is not good at navy.

The reason is very simple. Since the Chu State destroyed the Yue State fifty or sixty years ago, the Chu State has not fought a water war. Its armaments are depleted, its warships are old, and its sailors are lax.

After all, whether it is the Chu State in history or the Chu State in this world, the population is mainly concentrated in the north of the Yangtze River. The area south of the Yangtze River is also a barbarian land for the Chu State, and there is no threat. Naturally, it cannot maintain a huge water resources. military necessity.

The naval forces were not well maintained, and generals who were good at naval warfare were naturally scarce.

After all, being good at water fighting and not getting seasick and being able to swim are two different things.

What makes Xiang Yan even more distressed is that the Chu State's dilapidated navy has been attacked many times by the Dayu navy. Most of the naval bases in the middle and lower reaches of the river have been attacked, and warships have been burned or captured.

In this way, Dong Huang's army, which was already strong in naval warfare, actually overwhelmed Chu's army, which was theoretically more powerful in warships. At one point, even Jiuzi, the Chu army's expected meeting point, was blocked. Jiuzi's The navy camp was burned down.

Even the planned strategic rear is gone, how can we still fight?

Xiang Yan is certainly not a mediocre general. At his peak, his abilities in all aspects should be only lower than those of the four famous generals.

During this period, his abilities in all aspects were also extremely outstanding, and he was definitely one of the best generals of his age group.

When he first received the order, Xiang Yan was already aware of his own weaknesses.

Therefore, this march not only gathered the elite naval forces stationed in Xia (Wuhan), but also continuously collected various types of ships along the way, even larger merchant ships and fishing boats. But even so, Xiang Yan still did not dare to fight with the big ships. The decisive battle between the Yu army and the navy.

After successive battles, the Dayu Navy has become a military force.

Due to materials and other reasons, Dayu's navy warships are indeed not as strong as the warships of this world, and they do not have the magical mechanism skills of this world. Therefore, even if two ships of the same size collide, the one who suffers will definitely be Dayu's navy, but The problem is that Dayu’s navy is strong.

Zhou Tai, Gan Ning, Han Shizhong, Jiang Qin, Lu Xun, Chen Wu, Ling Tong, Pan Zhang, Ma Zhong, He Qi, San Cai, Liu Zan, etc. are all very good navy generals, and they all have a certain talent under their command. An eighth-level water fighting fist force, in addition to more than a thousand ninth-level peak sharks.

They first carried out many sneak attacks along the way, and had already robbed the Chu navy base in the lower reaches of the river. The warships had also been upgraded, bringing them to a level similar to that of Chu. However, in terms of water combat bonuses, they were far better than Chu. National navy.

The navy of the Chu State, to put it harshly, had only collected protection fees from passing merchant ships for the past fifty or sixty years, and the bottom class even had to make a living by fishing. Naturally, the navy of Chu was badly beaten.

The most puzzling thing is that Zhou Tai personally went into the water and led the sharks to sneak attack and dig the boat under the water.

Each of these sharks is a tough man who is at the peak of the ninth level and is only one step away from breaking through. They are leftover from the more than 20,000 sharks who washed the sand in the big waves. They are nourished by both the ghoul and the corpse king's blood pill. They are all elite attendants. Once their abilities are activated, they can leave a big hole in the bottom of the ship without using any weapons.

But because of their characteristics, they can stay underwater for dozens of days without any problems, and they don't need to replenish food. They can live happily just by catching fish in the water; their swimming speed is even faster than that of a mechanical boat.

Xiang Yan fought against Dayu's navy several times, and each time he was defeated. There were several times when fighting was still going on at the front. As a result, his vehicle at the rear had been scuttled, and he had to jump to another ship to escape.

It’s not like Xiang Yan has never thought about trapping these sharks, but they are very slippery. Zhou Tai even despicably tamed finless porpoises and the like and went underwater to explore the situation and make sure there were no problems before attacking; he also often went Xiang Yan's army's rear military base attacked or raided Xiang Yan's lone small fleet, and started to engage in guerrilla warfare with Xiang Yan on the river.

This made Xiang Yan sick, but there was nothing she could do about it!

There is no way, when it comes to military formations, the Yu army that currently has no military formations cannot compare with Xiang Yan, but when it comes to water battles, Xiang Yan's experience is not even as good as that of the unknown Liu Zan.

And the military formation that Xiang Yan is best at cannot exert its due effect on the river.

Because of the successive defeats and the ugly appearance of the sharks, rumors spread among Xiang Yanshui's army that Dayu had been helped by the water monster, and the morale of the entire army became even more depressed.

Under this situation, Xiang Yan believed that if the Chu army wanted to defeat the Yu army, there were only two ways to go. The quickest way to achieve results was for the army to take a step back. Instead of competing with the Yu army for water benefits, it was better to take a step back and wait for the victory. Crossing the river at Pengli's shore, which was basically out of reach of Dayu's navy, attacked Dayu's army by land.

Xiang Yan has actually found out that Dayu's army does not seem to have any military formations, it is just a group of ragtag groups with the prototype of a messy military formation.

These people are nothing if they leave Dajiang! Xiang Yan is confident that he will defeat them all in a land battle.

A safer approach is to send an army to cross the river in the rear, integrate the power of Jiangnan counties and feudal lords, restrict and harass the Yu army; at the same time, build warships, train naval forces, and use Chu's size and The advantage is that most of the soldiers can swim. In a year or two, a powerful navy army can be trained, which will then directly overwhelm Mount Tai and destroy the Yu army.

However, the most reasonable advice may not be the most appropriate advice.

Chun Shenjun took Xiang Yan's petition, smiled helplessly, and handed Xiang Yan's petition to Zhu Ying and He Ning.

Although Xiang Yan's idea is good, King Chu is now waiting to see the result! Lord Chun Shen was already suspected by King Kaolie of Chu. How could he dare to make these suggestions to King Chu at this time?

"Xiang Yan's thinking is too simple."

Zhu Ying took a quick glance and her tone was incomprehensible.

"I think this Xiang Yan is not simple, but cunning!"

He Ning sneered.

As a war agent, he thinks more than Chun Shenjun and Zhu Ying.

This is not because he is necessarily smarter than Chun Shenjun and the others, but because he understands the nature of war agents very well. Don't look at the current war agents who are constantly gathering around Chun Shenjun and Li Yuan, kneeling and licking them, but if they leave their fiefdoms and go deep across the river to fight against the so-called "big Yu", I'm afraid they will immediately It is possible to fall out and become a leader.

Especially those war agents who have not yet released the main city and are still choosing to wait and see are even more untrustworthy.

As for why He Ning said that Xiang Yan was being naughty, it was because Xiang Yan had an opinion but did not mention it to the King of Chu. Instead, he wrote a letter to Lord Chun Shen, making it clear that he wanted to use Lord Chun Shen as a gunman.

If Lord Chun Shen doesn't adopt it, Yan can blame Lord Chun Shen if something goes wrong; if he accepts it and makes King Chu unhappy, it will still be Lord Chun Shen's fault.

"So, he thinks too simply!"

Zhu Ying also sneered: "Since Xiang Yan is so discerning, why not just let Xiang Yan lead his troops to harass the South Road? There are a few feudal lords who have a close relationship with Li Yuan, and they can be sent there. As for us... we Before we could cross the river, Xiang Yanshui's army was defeated. If we are unable to cross the river, the fault is not ours, right?"

"Wonderful!"

He Ning's eyes lit up.

He found that his strategy and ruthlessness were still far behind compared to this native who had a name in history and a ruthless vision.

His cruelty is the kind of cruelty that kills the whole family; Zhu Ying's cruelty is the kind of cruelty that makes the whole family die without knowing how.

He Ning had been thinking about how to defeat Dayu's army, which was obviously the agent of the war. No matter how he thought about it, he felt that with Li Yuan waiting by his side and the naval force not having an advantage, crossing the river to attack Dayu would be a dead end. ; But if you don’t go, it will damage Lord Chun Shen’s prestige and reputation.

Unexpectedly, he was in a dilemma here, but the other party already had a way to break the situation.

[If one day, I replace Lord Chun Shen, I hope you can be of use to me, otherwise...]

He Ning buried his true thoughts deeply in his heart.

"Isn't this not good?"

Zhu Ying's plan made Chunshen Junshuang hesitate.

He felt that this was a bit unkind.

No, it’s not just a matter of being unkind, it’s all treason!

How is this behavior different from that of Li Yuan?

“Young master, don’t let a small thing cost you a big thing!”

Zhu Ying winked at He Ning, took Chun Shen Jun's hand, knelt on the ground and urged: "Yu State is just a scabies disease, it only takes a year to train the navy, and it can be easily pacified; The great enemy of the young master and the country is still Li Yuan! Li Yuan’s wolfish ambition has been revealed, and he even hesitated to poison the general Qu Leng to achieve his goal. Such a person must not be kept!"

"Yes, sir!"

He Ning also took Chun Shenjun's other hand and knelt on the ground, crying: "He can kill Qu Leng today, the young master tomorrow, and the king the day after tomorrow! The Tian family should not be replaced by Qi. Don’t be defensive!”

Seeing his two confidants saying this, especially with Qu Leng's death at the forefront, Lord Chun Shen finally made up his mind, took their hands and said, "You can do it yourself!"

Chun Shenjun didn't say why he did it. Maybe he didn't know, or maybe he wanted to practice Tai Chi as a non-stick pan, but that didn't stop him from arranging things.

Obviously, he had been convinced by Zhu Ying and He Ning at this time.

Party strife is in the eyes of the beholder: The country is dying, and these people are still busy fighting. Damn it!

Partisan struggle in the eyes of partisans: The other party deserves to die. If we don’t kill them, the country will perish!

Chun Shenjun's thought at this time was: If Li Yuan is not killed, the Chu Kingdom will be over.

The meeting of three people ended soon, and the small meeting of two people started immediately.

He Ning took Zhu Ying's hand and decided to chat with him over a drink. After chatting about fellow travelers, he fell asleep after finishing the conversation.

"Brother, do you have any good ideas on how to deal with Li Yuan?"

When the wine was full, He Ning finally couldn't help but ask.

Zhu Ying, who slept with He Ning's 'sister' and was licked very comfortably by He Ning, did not give in. "The rainy season has arrived. Something went wrong when Li Yuan's army besieged Jiangdu and the camp was flooded. Can't you blame us?"

"Huh? What brother means is..."

He Ning stared at the map closely.

"Have people give advice to Li Yuan and ask him to build embankments to block the river and prepare to flood the Jiangdu. Then send people to break the embankments in advance and flood Li Yuan's army! At the same time, you can inform the defenders of the city in advance and indicate the location of Li Yuan's tent so that the defenders can The city army has prepared ships early and will take advantage of the situation to attack. It would be best if they can kill Li Yuan!"

Zhuying grinned.

"What a great idea! And maybe we can take the opportunity to defeat the enemy's troops leaving the city!"

He Ning was thinking about military exploits.

For war agents, military merit is money.

"No, we have to be as far away as possible, so that we can avoid suspicion from the king. If there is a chance, we can even lose one. If two of the three routes are defeated, we will be fine or even win. The king's I’m afraid I can’t suppress my suspicion anymore. We’ll suffer a small defeat and use up some of our miscellaneous cards. If the enemy dares to go deep into the land to pursue us, we can ambush them when the time comes!”

Zhu Ying's thinking is very clear.

"As expected of your brother, I'll give you another toast!"

He Ning said with great joy.

Tigers can hurt people, and people can hurt tigers.

Chun Shenjun is plotting against Li Yuan, and of course Li Yuan will not forget Chun Shenjun.

Coincidentally, Li Yuan's ideas were similar to Chun Shenjun's, and he had already started to take action.

He asked people to secretly contact Huang Zhong, who was guarding Jiangdu, and told Huang Zhong that he was willing to tell Chun Shenjun's marching route.

Li Yuan was able to assassinate Qu Leng. Obviously, he had many back-up men in Chun Shenjun's army.

Li Yuan hoped to use this borrowed knife tactic to kill his biggest competitor and become Ling Yin under one person in Chu State.

After Huang Zhong and Zhuge Liang discussed it, they both felt that Li Yuan could take advantage of him.

Zhuge Liang used the knowledge he read in the history books to infer Li Yuan's character, and felt that the combination of Li Yuan and Chun Shenjun would definitely give him a big surprise.

"I wonder if the teacher's random martial arts can cause Chun Shenjun and Li Yuan's soldiers to fight?"

Zhuge Liang, who studied under Jia Xu, also learned to be evil.

The battle of wits and courage between Chun Shenjun and Li Yuan would not come to fruition for a while, but Xiang Yan, who thought she had not offended Chun Shen Jun and Li Yuan, was confused after receiving the military order.

"You want me to take people to explore the road to the south bank of the river first and act as a suspect? Lord Chun Shen's army is moving towards the opposite side of Peng Li and will arrive soon?"

For some reason, Xiang Yan always felt that something was wrong when seeing this military order.

"De Fei, what do you think?"

Xiang Yan looked at his general Gongye Defei.

Gongye Defei is a war agent, and he is a relatively powerful one among war agents.

His birthplace was in Xiacheng, which happened to be Xiang Yan's defense line, and he was also a general under Xiang Yan.

This identity made Gongye Defei very satisfied. He not only fantasized about following Xiang Yan to annihilate the Qin State's 200,000 troops and receiving generous rewards, but also wanted to follow Xiang Yan to learn the method of military formation, and also wanted to find an opportunity to accept Xiang Yu as his righteous son.

If I could conquer Xiang Yu...

Even if Gongye Defei is asked to marry all his daughters and granddaughters to him, Gongye Defei is willing!

That was the overlord of Western Chu who was incredibly powerful in the ordinary historical world! He couldn't even imagine how powerful the Western Chu Overlord in this world could be.

What's more, in addition to Xiang Yu, the Xiang family also has many talents with high martial arts who can lead troops in war.

"General, as far as my subordinates know, there are quite a few lords south of the river, and they all have elite soldiers. I wonder if the general can recruit them?"

Gongye Defei is digging holes for the war agents in the south of the Yangtze River.

Most of Chu's war agents were in the form of lords who owned a county. And because there were at least dozens of times more small towns in this world than in history, there were a lot of lords in Chu.

If these agents of war could be recruited, Gongye Defei could take advantage of the fact that he was Xiang Yan's confidant to trap and coerce them, trick them to death if they refused, and sign a subsidiary alliance obediently.

All in all, when it comes to digging holes for their colleagues, all war agents are self-taught.

"Of course you can!"

Xiang Yan replied.

The King of Chu meant that all the feudal lords along the army could be recruited, so Xiang Yan could naturally do it easily.

In fact, half of Xiang Yan's ships were recruited along the way.

"The emperor can be asked to organize his troops as vanguards, and those with outstanding military exploits can follow the general!"

Gongye Defei confidently said.

"ah?"

Xiang Yan didn't believe it.

With just such a promise, those feudal lords were willing to be the vanguard?

Gongye Defei was full of confidence.

He understands the virtues of the agents of war very well.

By following Xiang Yan, you may not only be able to annihilate Li Xin, but you may also get the moon first, and you may hope to get Xiang Yu!

In the mission space of the agent of war, the historical inertia of the characters is very strong. Unless the parents of the historical figures are really dead, they will definitely be born.

This can be understood as the space deliberately manipulating the birth of general stars to give war agents more opportunities, which can be regarded as an invisible benefit issued by the infinite war space.

Gongye Defei believed that the war agents must have discovered this.

Dong Huang: Ah, yes, yes...

All in all, with Xiang Yu's temptation, Gongye Defei believed that these war agents would definitely work hard.

Gongye Defei also secretly decided to let his men spread the news that there were many girls in the Xiang family.

Gongye Defei believes that due to various factors, a large number of war agents will definitely take the bait. After all, this is the temptation to become Xiang Yan's son-in-law and Xiang Yu's uncle!

Xiang Yan finally followed the mentality of treating a dead horse as a living horse, and ordered the emperors along the way to reorganize the army and prepare for war.

What Xiang Yan didn't expect was that many feudal lords actually gave most of their armies directly to his command, just to be able to advise and protect him.

[My charm is so high? 】

At this moment, Xiang Yan couldn't help but doubt herself.

What he didn't even expect was that a group of war agents were desperately trying to send women to him and his sons.

It turns out that some war agents have developed a new use for female attendants - to make them pregnant with the children of famous generals in the mission world.

In this way, after the mission is over, the child will return as the attendant's child, and the war agent will have prostituted the descendant of the famous general in vain.

It is even possible to conceive a historical figure using this method.

However, not all war agents can accept this method, just like Dong Huang, who cannot accept it at all.

But some people are so excited that they not only send their female attendants out for others to play with, but they even marry the female attendants' daughters born to other people.

It can only be said that the XP between people is not the same.

Now, even Gongye Defei, who originally had the wisdom to trap these agents of war, was in Bengbu.

Damn, there is such an operation!

Despicable, shameless, despicable, no bottom line!

Gongye Defei was furious and immediately decided not to leave his daughters and granddaughters to the unborn Xiang Yu, but decided to give them to Xiang Yan and Xiang Yan's eldest son.

What does it mean to make Xiang Yu your adopted son?

I want him to be my grandson!

Xiang Yan:......

The princes were so enthusiastic that he couldn't handle it at all, so he could only agree to have one woman for each prince's family for the sake of the overall situation.

Of course, this is not because he is lustful, he is completely sacrificing himself and his underage son for the sake of the country.

The princes were dissatisfied with this result and demanded that he and his eldest son each have one, and they must give birth to at least one boy!

Faced with the unanimous support of the princes, who seemed to be in alliance, for the sake of the country, Xiang Yan could only grit his teeth and agree.

At this moment, Xiang Yan should have something in common with Dong Huang, who was forced to use the art of infinite marriage.

However, what Xiang Yan didn't know was that these princes, or these war agents, had really reached a depth-charge-style alliance.

There are no fools among the war agents who are alive today. They naturally understand that fighting and killing each other at the moment is not only meaningless, but will also be taken advantage of by others. In addition, they discovered that Gongye Defei, the war agent, The two had bad intentions, so they naturally took this opportunity to form an alliance.

They agreed that they would not harm each other, and that war points and other gains would be fairly distributed in the space after the mission was over based on battle losses and contributions.

They agreed to jointly deal with Gongye Defei and jointly assist Xiang Yan until Xiang Yan won his first victory against Qin - if there would be such a good opportunity in history in this time and space!

They also agreed that each family would have two women, one for Xiang Yan and one for Xiang Yan's eldest son, Xiang Kui. The main target would be Xiang Kui, and they would see which woman Xiang Yu would be born into.

They agreed that no matter whose family they were born into, they would not harm each other.

They also agreed to advance and retreat together and use this time to develop as quickly as possible. Even if they could not prevent the demise of Chu in the future, they would at least separate Jiangnan.

All in all, their idea is a good one.

It is also in line with their plans and interests to follow Xiang Yan to eliminate Dayu who plans to separatize Jiangdong.

With their full support, Xiang Yanle blossomed.

He originally only had 30,000 elite soldiers and 150,000 naval troops, but suddenly he had 80,000 elite soldiers and more than 400,000 county soldiers. Such a huge force made him tremble with excitement.

This is the first time he has commanded such a large force. If all the elites are trained into the military formation, Xiang Yan is confident that he can defeat the Yu army without Chun Shen Jun crossing the river.

However, Gongye Defei, who was near the water tower, was not happy. He once thought he had a chance to win and wanted to become the commander of the War Agents. He took the opportunity to conquer the War Agents and finally realized that he was shooting himself in the foot. .

He did not expect that these thirty or forty war agents would form an alliance so quickly and deliberately exclude him.

Of course, there could not be only this few war agents in Jiangnan, but in his eagerness, he could not find so many allies. Of course, what he wanted was not allies, but subordinates.

"Since you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust!"

Looking at the high-spirited war agents, Gongye Defei sneered in his heart.
