Qin Dynasty: Sword Asks the Bright Moon

In early July of the 21st year of the Qin Dynasty, the Qin army pursued the main force of the Chu army along Feishui, and finally came to Caicheng.

Xia Cai is already regarded as the absolute core area of ​​the Chu army. It faces Shouchun, the capital of the Chu State, across the Huaihe River. Here, the Chu State has accumulated a large amount of military equipment, food and grass. It can be said that the city of Xia Cai is regarded by the Chu State as Cast for military fortress.

"The 400,000-strong army has been dispersed by more than 100,000. The 300,000-strong Chu army has also lost its morale. The momentum of this battle has been achieved." Among the Qin army's pursuit team, Wang Jian looked at the vast and moving Huai River in front of him. , even though he is steady, he can't help but feel excited at this time. The largest country in the world except Qin will eventually be destroyed in his hands. No one can refuse the military merit of destroying the country.

When Wang Jian was complacent and prepared to force the Chu army to make a final showdown with him, the situation behind Wang Jian and in the area ruled by the Qin State was already changing.

In Suiyang City, the few garrison generals in the city were summoned to the Prime Minister's Mansion by Xiong Qi one day in the name of discussing important military matters. This kind of thing had happened countless times before, and there was nothing noteworthy about it.

But accidents often happen inadvertently. When the garrison generals entered the Prime Minister's Mansion, they were immediately controlled by Xiong Qi and the men who carried Chu. Immediately, Xiong Qi sealed the military camp with the order of Prime Minister You, and the rebellion arose.

When Xiong Qi set up the flag of the Chu State, the resistance forces that had been brewing in Suiyang City for many years were awakened. On the one hand, they had been preparing for many years, and now they were helped by Xiong Qi. On the other hand, the military camp was blocked by government orders, and all their superiors were missing. The balance of power, which was not much different, suddenly reversed.

On July 6, the 21st year of the Qin Dynasty, Xiong Qi, the Right Prime Minister of the Qin State and Lord Changping, rebelled against Suiyang. The Qin army in Suiyang fought fiercely for a day and lost. The entire city of Suiyang fell into the hands of the traitor Xiong Qi. During the pursuit, the Qin army that penetrated deep into the territory of Chu suddenly became a lone army.

And this is just the beginning. At the same time as the rebellion in Suiyang, the old places of Han and Wei from Xinzheng to Daliang also re-established the flags belonging to South Korea and Wei. There were even rebels who went directly eastward from Chengfu, wanting to go eastward. Completely blocking the retreat of Qin's army from attacking Chu.

At this time, there were wars all over the south of the river. It turned out that the Qin State's rule over the homeland of Han and Wei was so weak, so weak that it was like a stack of bamboo slips made up of building blocks. It looked brilliant, but in fact it could be broken with a single poke. .

"How should Qin Wangzheng respond this time? The main force of the Qin army has penetrated deep into the Chu Kingdom. It will not be easy to retreat safely. Xiang Yan will bite him to death. How should Qin Wangzheng face us?" Xinzheng City Wei Zhuang looked at the unquenched fires all over Xinzheng and couldn't help but smile. He had been looking forward to this scene for a long, long time.

In the previous contest, because it was a head-on confrontation between countries, even though he had extraordinary abilities, he was powerless in the face of the absolute gap in strength. But this time it is different. This time it is a side battlefield. Although Qin is powerful , but in the open, while he was in the dark, and took advantage of the situation to bring about today's situation. Until this moment, it was considered a fair contest.

"He must be anxious now. Qin's ability to rule the homeland of the Four Kingdoms is purely based on the Qin Army's invincible power for so many years. Once we prove to the people of the world that although the Qin Army is powerful, it is not invincible, so the people of the world will be afraid The thoughts that were extinguished by Qin will be rekindled. No matter what the final result is in this game, we have won." Zhang Liangdao.

Resistance requires courage, and what Zhang Liang has to do is to inspire courage among the people of the four countries.

"The fire in Xinzheng is even bigger." Wei Zhuang said.

The fire in Xinzheng was very powerful, and in conjunction with the fire in Suiyang, it had already burned to Huainan and Xianyang.

After leaving Caicheng, Wang Jian looked at the military report in his hand. It came from Suiyang.

The right prime minister turned against him? Wang Jian looked at the bamboo slips in his hand again, and felt that he had read it wrong. How could it be possible? The dignified right prime minister of Qin State actually turned against him, and also occupied Suiyang and raised the flag of Chu State. banner?

Wang Jian was thinking, and his palms were clenching the bamboo slips uncontrollably. No matter how ridiculous Xiong Qi's reason for rebellion was, he could no longer care about it at this moment. The only thing Wang Jian was thinking about now was the news of the unrest in the rear. What kind of shock will it cause after being in the army?

Now, the decisive battle that the Qin army wanted was imminent, but the right prime minister did the opposite and cut off their retreat. What does this news mean to the Qin state, and what does it mean to the Chu army?

Wang Jian could already imagine that the Chu army would be greatly boosted in morale because of this incident, while the Qin army would inevitably be shaken. With one ebb and flow, the situation in the decisive battle would be reversed, which was no longer what Wang Jian wanted to see. decisive battle.

"Maybe there is another way, that is, I defeat the Chu army head-on, and then return for reinforcements, but what are the risks?" Countless thoughts echoed in Wang Jian's mind for a while. Withdrawing the army is not easy, and attacking, but the military strength is not good. Another reversal occurred.

What was before Wang Jian at this moment was a dilemma.

Xiong Qi, you have tricked me badly. Wang Jian cursed secretly in his heart, he had been fighting for most of his life, and he had never been so embarrassed like this.

An army of 600,000 people was put into his hands, and the power of the whole country was controlled by him alone. The plot was just to destroy Chu. But now that Chu is still there, he himself is in crisis. What will the world think of this matter?

After several weighings, Wang Jian still summoned the generals in the army. It was impossible to block the news, because even if he blocked the news, the Chu army would not miss this opportunity to damage the morale of the Qin army.

In the Chinese army tent, when Wang Jian informed the generals of the news from Suiyang, everyone fell into silence for a while.

Those who are qualified to enter this big tent are all senior officials in the Qin army. They have their own insights. They can see the meaning behind the news and know the situation they are about to face.

"The current situation is like this. Withdrawal is inevitable, but the Chu army will not let us retreat safely. How to retreat is very important to us." Wang Jian said.

If the retreat process is not done properly, it is likely to turn into a rout, especially now that the Qin army has so many troops that even Wang Jian cannot control every aspect. During the Chu army's counterattack, It was a great challenge for Wang Jian to bring the army back safely and then quell the rebellion in Suiyang and other places.

"General, can't our army choose to attack? As long as we can defeat the Chu army head-on, all problems will cease to exist." Another person came out and said.

"There is a risk. The Chu State is now in decline, so they have to gamble, but our Qin State is different. The Qin State has an absolute advantage. If we still bet on the fate of the country with the Chu State, it will be like a jade cup touching a pottery bowl." Wang Jian said.

"After you return to camp, you must appease the morale of the troops. This battle has just begun."

In the dull atmosphere, the roles of the Qin army and the Chu army were reversed.

"It's done." When the atmosphere of decadence gradually enveloped the Qin army's camp, it was a completely different situation in the Chu army's camp. It took Xiang Yan more time to receive the news from Suiyang than Wang Jian. One o'clock in the morning.

Now that the Qin Army's important rear town Suiyang has rebelled, and with the cooperation of Han and Wei, the Qin Army's entire rear has almost been turned upside down. If the Qin Army dares to fight the Chu Army in such a situation, then Xiang Yan will be even more desperate.

Amidst the restless voices in the big tent, Xiang Yan pressed his hands and said: "The retreat of the Qin army has become inevitable, but we absolutely cannot allow the Qin army to retreat so smoothly. During this period, we We must find all possible ways to severely damage the Qin army, otherwise when the Qin State quells the internal rebellion, a large army will invade again within two or three years, and then we will have to face the same situation we faced before."

"General, please give me a military order. The soldiers have been holding back for a long time, waiting for a counterattack. Now the opportunity has come." The generals of the Chu army asked for orders one after another.

"Yes, the time has come, it's time for us to take action." Xiang Yan said.

This time, in the battle between Qin and Chu, the offensive and defensive momentum was different.

Xianyang, because of the distance, the first news that Qin Wangzheng got was the rebellion in Xinzheng. Although Qin Wangzheng had surprises about this, it did not change his color. Although the Qin army is outside now, it has to deal with those in Xinzheng. The remnants of South Korea were still able to do it, but soon, when the news from Daliang came, Qin Wangzheng couldn't sit still.

The rebellion in Daliang fell into the eyes of Qin Wangzheng, making him clearly realize the reality that the situation was collapsing, and if it was not handled well, it would even affect the army on the front line.

"A group of invisible ants, if you continue to lurk, I will pretend that I haven't seen you. But since you jumped out to seek death, I will help you." As Qin Wangzheng pondered, he had already made a decision in his heart. .

However, when the military report from Suiyang appeared in front of Qin Wangzheng, Qin Wangzheng could not sit still at all.

Suiyang, the starting point of the Qin army's attack on Chu, was the most important logistics base of the Qin army. Such a city actually fell under the control of the Chu state. The 600,000-strong army penetrated deep into the enemy's territory and their retreat was cut off. Such a situation?

Even with Qin Wangzheng's temperament, he couldn't help but take a breath of air at this time. An army of 600,000 was almost the entire family wealth of the Qin State. If something went wrong, it would be unimaginable for the Qin State. .

"Xiong Qi, Xiong Qi, you are such a good prime minister!" Qin Wangzheng looked at the name on the scroll and said almost through gritted teeth.

Qin Wangzheng had never hated a person as much as he did at this moment. His great cause of unifying the world was about to be destroyed in the hands of Xiong Qi.

Qin Wangzheng took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart. He knew that any of his emotions had no value at all. What he needed to do now was to break the situation and break the current crisis.

"Zhao Gao, go and invite the Grand Master quickly," King Qin said.
