In Qin Dynasty, the hero of the bright moon dominates the world

Chapter 574 Rebellion
Qin army camp.

The military tents stretched out, and the horses neighed.

After the 20 Qin army left Wuguan, they marched very fast, passed through Nanyang, and arrived in the land of Chu.

In the big tent, Li Xin, Meng Tian and a group of generals gathered together to plan the attack method.

Since King Yan fled eastward, the Chu army joined forces with the Wei army to defend against the Qin army.It's just that in order to encircle Daliang smoothly, Wang Ben had fought against the Wei-Chu coalition forces many times before the war, and successfully defeated them.

At this time, the main deployment of the Chu army was east-west, in order to defend against the enemy in the north.Therefore, Li Xin marched quickly, wanting to take advantage of Chu's internal strife and break through the Chu army's defense before it was too late to adjust the deployment.

"Chencheng, an important town in the north of Chu State, was the capital of Chu State in the past, and the city defenses were strong. After the Chu army retreated from Wei, they retreated along the chasm to defend the city. If we attack this city by force, we will suffer heavy losses. It is better to use our army's advantages , quickly penetrated into the rear of the Chu army, and seized the Pingyu and sleeping places between Rushui and Yingshui."

Meng Tian nodded, cavalry and mobility are indeed a major advantage of the Qin Army.Although the Chu State's navy is powerful, the direction of the river cannot be controlled, and they can only shuttle between fixed points and lines.

In this way, there will inevitably be tactical limitations.

"If these two cities are captured by our army, Anling and Chencheng in the north will become isolated places. The people of Chu will be terrified, fearing that our army in Yingchuan and Dongjun will encircle these two places with us. The morale of the army will inevitably be scattered."

This is a great trick.The land of Chu is vast, with vertical and horizontal water systems, but there are many factions in Chu State.

Especially the Zhaoqujing clan and the Xiang clan are very powerful and have many private soldiers.Although the Chu army is large in number, it is not unified internally and has a strong sense of territory.

This is related to the state of Chu when it started.Although Xiong Fu, the ancestor of Chu State, was the teacher of King Wen, he was one of the princes who joined the Zhou army earlier to resist King Zhou.

But this can't change the Zhou Dynasty clan's stereotype of "Chuman", just like the princes of the Kanto called Qin "Xiyi".

Although the two families are descendants of the ancient martyrs who are serious and honest, they have always been despised by the princes of the Central Plains because of their remote location and mixed with the surrounding barbarians.

Although Chu was one of the heroes who destroyed the Shang Dynasty, it was not the first batch of countries to be enshrined as princes of the Zhou family.It was not until the time of King Cheng of Zhou that the State of Chu officially became the Viscount State.

For a long time, Chu State was in a culturally weak position, eager to be recognized by the Central Plains countries.On the one hand, the state of Chu continued to provoke the royal family of Zhou with force, and the co-lord of the world even assumed the title of king a long time ago.On the other hand, he was very concerned about being recognized by the vassal states of the Central Plains, so that when Zheng Wengong met King Chu Cheng in court, King Chu Cheng was so happy that he gave a thousand catties of copper at once.Although King Cheng of Chu regretted it after the delivery, he licked his face and chased him out to ask Zheng Wengong to ensure that these strategic resources could not be used to make weapons.

The Zhou family has always been on guard against Chu.Around Chu, a series of countries surnamed Ji were enfeoffed.But with the weakening of the Zhou family and the rise of Chu, Chu annexed many vassal states between Jianghan and Han.

But at that time, the Chu State did not adopt the annexation model like the Warring States period, destroying its ancestral temples, and destroying its clan. Instead, it adopted a method similar to tribal alliances, which was equivalent to forming a enfeoffment system around the Chu family under the enfeoffment system of the Zhou family.

The advantage of doing this is that it can quickly expand the territory, ensure the stability of the place, and at the same time get rid of the prejudice of the Central Plains countries against the "Chu barbarians", proving that the Chu royal family is also a "civilized person" and integrated into the Chinese civilization of the Central Plains.

But the disadvantage is that it is difficult to change the deep-rooted monarchy system of Chu State. Even Wu Qi wanted to reform back then, but it ended in failure. He even died at the hands of the nobles of Chu State.

Especially when Baiqi attacked Yingdu, the elite army of the Chu royal family was wiped out.The once wealthy King of Chu has become ruins, and the Chu royal family has to rely on the major lords in the east to continue to maintain the state.

This situation has continued to this day.The weakness of Chu State is due to insufficient reforms, but at the same time, the strong cohesion of the upper echelons of Chu State is also due to insufficient reforms.

As Qin generals, Li Xin and Meng Tian are very aware of the situation in Chu State.However, they are just generals, and they only need to understand the weaknesses of the Chu army in this situation and take advantage of them.

"The most important thing in this battle is speed. We will advance to Pingyu. Meng Tian, ​​you lead the cavalry to attack the sleeping area immediately. As long as you capture these two areas before the Chu army has time to react, our army will be in the north of Chu State." It's in the pocket."

"I will understand at the end."

Li Xin's flying army and Mengshi's iron cavalry are the elite of Qin.Although the two do not belong to the same faction within the Qin army, they can also work together.

Korea.

The former Xinzheng City no longer has the bustling appearance of the past.

When Wei Zhuang came to this land again with his sword and Chi Lian, the flag of South Korea was no longer planted on the crumbling city wall.

The flag of the State of Qin was flying high, and the soldiers of the Qin Army were patrolling the streets.

The Qin army has already conquered the state of Wei, and is now attacking the state of Chu. Han land is an important channel for the Qin army to transport grain and grass materials, so it pays special attention to the safety here.

Wei Zhuang took Chi Lian through the remote alleyway, and walked to the old place of Zilanxuan.With the flames of war, this place has become a piece of ruins. In the past, the land where the Korean nobles and nobles spent their lives in luxury, is now quite desolate, with only a remnant lake left.

Wei Zhuang waited, and soon, one person approached the agreed place.He looked at Wei Zhuang, then at Chi Lian, with a terrified expression on his face.

"General! Princess Honglian!"

Wei Zhuang smiled and looked at the cold scene in front of him.

"Wang Cheng, you have joined the Qin army, and you are doing well now, have you changed from a general to a commander?"

"The last general... the last general..."

Although Wei Zhuang had a playful tone, Wang Cheng didn't feel relaxed at all.

"I came here because I wanted to start a rebellion here."

"Rebellion!"

Wang Cheng's complexion changed.

"But Wei State has already been destroyed, we rebelled at this time, and South Korea can't recover?"

"This rebellion is not for the revival of South Korea!"

Wei Zhuang said it lightly, but to Wang Cheng's ears, he was a little confused.He is very aware of Wei Zhuang's methods, and he can still recall how coercive Wei Zhuang was when he was a general in South Korea.

It's not for the revival of Korea, is it...

Wang Cheng thought of something, and his eyes suddenly widened.At this time, the Qin army was crusading against the state of Chu. If there was a rebellion here, and there was chaos in the most important transportation hub where the Qin army went east, it would definitely have a huge impact on the Qin army ahead.

"But even so, we can't resist Qin Jun for long?"

"So you have to pick a good time."

A gleam of light flashed in Wei Zhuang's eyes.
