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

Chapter 591 Offense and Defense
Chu army camp.

The strange behavior of the [-] Qin army did not make the Chu army rush out.

Xiang Yan was very cautious and quickly dispatched scouts to inquire about the news.But the real news was brought by Long Qie from afar.

"Sui Yang?"

Long Qie nodded and explained to the people in the tent.

"Before Zhao Shuang came, he asked Dangjun to prepare food and grass. Now Suiyang's food and grass are coming down Surabaya. The first batch has been escorted by Meng Tian's army and is now being transported to the Qin army's camp."

Xiang Yan stood up immediately, walked to the map, looked at the place where Zhao Shuang was camping now, and seemed to realize something.

"No wonder Zhao Shuang's garrison here must be to maintain the grain road from Dang County."

With a conclusion in mind, Xiang Yan turned around and asked.

"How much food and grass are there?"

"One hundred thousand stones!"

Fan Zeng was beside him, and asked in an urgent voice.

"Is the news accurate?"

"Jun Changping asked me to bring the news, so it should be accurate."

The current situation is very delicate. If one hundred thousand stones of food and grass fall into the hands of the Qin army, it will be enough to change the direction of the entire war.

All the Chu generals present felt a sense of urgency.

"General, let's go out immediately!"

Xiang Yan shook her head.

"Zhao Shuang's choice of the place to set up his army is very ingenious. It is condescending and radiates in all directions. His army is in the front, and the Qin army's army is behind. If we attack by force, we will inevitably suffer heavy losses. The important thing is that he is afraid that he will ask our army to go. Attack, thereby delaying time."

Chu Jun's time is running out. At this time, it is not a wise choice to start a tug-of-war with Qin Jun.

"Things may not be as bad as imagined."

At this time, Fan Zeng said.At this time, only Fan Zeng, the military adviser, was the most calm in the account.

"Not long after the Wei State was destroyed, the local order was not yet stable. Even if the Qin State could gather [-] stones of food and grass, it would not be able to gather enough power for boats, vehicles and animals to run. It is impossible for all of the [-] stones of food and grass to be sent to the Qin army."

Having said that, Fan Zeng looked at Long Qi and asked.

"How many knights can the Tenglong Legion dispatch at this time?"

"Less than three thousand."

Fan Zeng had an idea in his mind, looked at Xiang Yan, and cupped his hands.

"General, why don't you send out cavalry to harass the Qin army's grain road at this time, first to find out the truth, and second, to damage the morale of the Qin army."

Xiang Yan nodded and gave the order.

"Meng Tian's cavalry is not that easy to deal with, you have to be careful."

"I will understand at the end!"

A group of Chu generals left the camp to deal with military affairs.After all, just after a battle, the Chu army needs to reorganize and prepare for the next battle.

However, not long after Fan Zeng went out, he turned around again.

"General, just now I asked Long Qie about the situation at Chen Di in private."

"how?"

Fan Zeng shook his head.

"The situation is very bad. The [-] troops in Nanyang failed to evacuate in time. Now Chen's defense force is only left with a group of surrendered troops loyal to the people of Chu and the private soldiers of the nobles of Han and Chu. The total force is not enough. Up to [-]. Wang Ben led the army to advance by land and water, and stormed day and night. Lord Changping said that Han land will be regained by the Qin army in just one or two days, and he can last ten days at most."

"Ten days?"

This number is much shorter than Xiang Yan expected, which shows the dire situation.

"There is another situation, which is rather strange."

"what?"

"The Li Kaijun who was stationed in Ye County suddenly entered the Han land, but they did not go north to Xinzheng to quell the chaos, but stationed along the Rushui River."

"What does Zhao Shuang want to do?"

Xiang Yan frowned.Handi is the hub of the Central Plains. The Rushui and Yingshui river systems in the territory are important water transportation channels, directly connected to the Huai River.

"I'm afraid that Zhao Shuang's moves will be placed where we can't guard against them."

"What do you mean, sir?"

"Shouying!"

Xiang Yan's face sank like water, and after a long time, she sighed.

"Within ten days, we must find an opportunity to launch a counterattack against the Qin army. But if we can't catch it, Mr. Changping's arrangements will have to be cancelled, and we can only wait for another opportunity."

The Chu army is different from the Qin army. If they cannot win a decisive battle, but fall into a war of national power consumption between Chu and Qin, then the Chu army will undoubtedly lose.

The best opportunity for the Chu army is to wait until the 20 Qin army has run out of food and grass, and then launch a round of strategic counterattack.Because in a normal decisive battle, even if the Chu army can change heads at a ratio of one to one or even one to two, it is not worth paying the price of 10 horses to wipe out the 20 Qin army.

Without these 20 troops, Qin could continue to mobilize 20.But without the 20 troops of Chu State, half of the country would be gone. If the [-] troops were defeated, the country would not be far from subjugation.

Along the Rushui River, a fleet is going down the river.

On the high bank, Wei Zhuang held a shark tooth in his hand, looking at the scenery on the river bank.

"Xiao Zhuang!"

Gai Nie came from behind, holding Yuan Hong's long sword in his hand, and walked slowly.

Behind Wei Zhuang, two Quicksand guards were holding ice spears and were about to stop them, but Wei Zhuang waved his hand to make them retreat.

"Brother, did Zhao Shuang ask you to come?"

"You set off a rebellion in Han to help Lord Changping?"

"You knew already?"

"Sanchuan's garrison has already moved south, but within a day or two, Xinzheng will become more desolate than before. And Chendi, it won't be a few days."

"A capital city with a subjugated country, desolation is what it should have been."

Wei Zhuang's words were very indifferent.

"If Qin is destroyed in the future, Xianyang will not be much better than Xinzheng."

"Is it your original intention to provoke a senseless war?"

"We are born for troubled times. You and I are like this, and so is Zhao Shuang. If the world is peaceful, what is the value of you and me?"

Gai Nie was silent, but Wei Zhuang didn't finish his sentence.

"Fortunately, the war is far from over. I am just reminding you that the world of Qin is not peaceful, so don't indulge in the illusion of peace."

Gai Nie looked at Wei Zhuang's back, took two steps forward, and stood shoulder to shoulder with him.

"So, are you planning to stop?"

"You and I are from the same school, so naturally we all know the principle of gathering and dispersing quicksand. I have already helped, and I have already got what I want. As for the end, I am not interested in whether Mr. Changping can succeed."

Whether or not the 20 Qin army can be eaten is the key to this war.

"I've heard about the matter in Chudi. The key to winning or losing is within ten days. However, I think Zhao Shuang's ultimate move should not be there."

"Is it a killer move?"

Gai Nie stared at the boats on the river bank, lost in thought.

"Li Kai's thousands of troops were stationed in Shangcai and Jia counties, and hundreds of empty ships went south along Rushui. Isn't this scene more interesting than Xinzheng's side? Brother, you are here for this too!"

There was a hint of emotion on Ge Nie's face, which made him look quite serious, completely different from his usual gentle and polite appearance.

"Do you think the same as me?"

Wei Zhuang raised his head slightly, looked at the blue sky, and took a deep breath, as if he was feeling the vicissitudes of life in this world.

"Brother, do you still remember when Master Wu defeated Chu?"

"Sun Tzu, Wu Yuan!"

"But now, the offensive and defensive momentum is different!"
