Qin Shi: Sword Asks the Bright Moon

Chapter 347

In the camp of the Chu army in Suiyang, Xiang Yan also got military information from Pengcheng. The good mood that gradually gained the upper hand sank to the bottom in an instant.

Although Xiang Yan is not as good as famous generals such as Li Mu and Wang Jian, as the No.1 in the Chu army, Xiang Yan has his own strength. Xiang Yan instantly understood what Qin Jun was going to do.

"One careless move, how likely is it to be defeated?" Xiang Yan looked at the defense plan on the desk, his face was extremely serious.

He can already see what Qin Jun's purpose is, but he is powerless. All he can do is to eat up Wei Jun as much as possible before Qin Jun arrives, and then turn around to face Qin Jun.

But will Qin Jun really give Chu Jun this time?
Thinking that the Wei army would not be able to break through in a short time, and thinking that the Qin army might attack the Chu army in Suiyang with the main force Ma Xi at any time, the shadow in Xiang Yan's heart became heavier.

But would the Qin army really choose to come from the west instead of going east and north from Pengcheng and sweeping the area north of Pengcheng in Chu State?

But even if the Qin army advances eastward and northward, it is still not a price that Xiang Yan can afford. Chu State is different from other countries. The most important power above the locality is not the government, but the nobles. These nobles control the place. Qin Jun's threat, what they will do is really hard to say.

It can be said that the current situation does not leave much choice for Xiang Yan and the Chu army. When Li Yuan handed over the Surabaya Valley to Qin State, he had already been under tremendous pressure within Chu State. Once Pengcheng was lost, And let Qin State use the land of Pengcheng to ravage the hinterland of Chu State, even if it is Li Yuan's commander Yin Zhizun, even if Li Yuan has the support from Queen Mother Li, it may be difficult to bear.

Those nobles in the Chu Kingdom really wanted to be ruthless, even the King of Chu would have to be afraid, let alone someone like Li Yuan who relied on intrigue to gain power and position.

Xiang Yan thought for a long time, but still felt that the main force of the Chu army under her command could not be moved, but the only thing she could do now was to ask Shouchun for help, hoping that Shouchun could send enough troops to support Pengcheng. I only hope that the Qin army can defeat Pengcheng, and only hope that it can hold back the Qin army and prevent it from attacking the land of Chu or coming west to support the Wei army.

Immediately, the Wei army ushered in a more violent attack from the Chu army. In this contest of wisdom and strength, the weakest Wei army will always be the unlucky existence.

Chudu Shouchun, Li Yuan looked at the request letter from Xiang Yan, his pale and bearded face was already dignified.

"What are you going to do, brother? If you want to deploy reinforcements to stop the Qin army where Pengcheng is located, apart from the palace guards, you can only use the clan soldiers of those families. The soldiers and horses of those people are not easy to use." In Li Amidst the solemnity of the garden, Empress Dowager Li was also frowning.

Although Empress Dowager Li was not from a good family background, she was a woman with an exquisite mind. The people she came into contact with over the years were all people who stood at the top of the Chu Kingdom. Under the influence of her ears and eyes, she also had her own insights into military and state affairs.

"Yes, in order to get rid of and weaken the power of the three clans, the former king did not hesitate to move the capital. If we invite them back now, we will really lure wolves into the house. But right now, almost all the soldiers and horses we can control and influence have been sent out. If we want to Stabilize the situation, apart from the soldiers and horses of the three tribes, there is really no other troops available." Li Yuan worried Zhong Zhong said.

"Suiyang falls into the hands of Wei Guo, and Wei Guo will only hold Sui Yang tightly like a greedy and timid old rich man, for fear of losing it." Empress Dowager Li pondered, with a round and childish face , At this time, a kind of light called wisdom is actually shining.

"What does sister mean?" Li Yuan asked in surprise, what did he hear from his sister's words?
"I didn't say anything, I just said, what will Wei Guo do if he gets Suiyang, what I'm thinking about now is what if Qin Jun gets Pengcheng." Empress Dowager Li said.

"If the Qin army captures Pengcheng, it can cut off the land on the Huai River of our Chu country. At that time..." Li Yuan thought about it. He can already imagine that if the Qin army captures Pengcheng, it will definitely take Pengcheng as the core. Attacking down and encroaching on Chu State step by step, the Qin army has such strength and has such a mind.

Empress Dowager Li reminded her that Li Yuan, who is also a smart person, also understood the meaning behind it in an instant.

If Chu State had to give up a place between Suiyang and Pengcheng, then if Suiyang was lost to Wei State, Chu State would only lose one Suiyang, but if Pengcheng was occupied by the Qin army, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Your sister is saying that Suiyang's army should be transferred to support Pengcheng and block the Qin army. If Suiyang can't defend, just throw it to Wei Guo? But, in that case, wouldn't our trouble be for nothing?" Li Yuan wondered incredulously. Looking at his younger sister, Li Yuan realized in a trance at this time, did he underestimate her before?

In the past, Li Yuan always thought that he pushed his younger sister to the position of queen mother step by step, but now, Li Yuan has a feeling that his younger sister can stand out from the crowd in the palace and ascend to the position of queen, even To become the current Queen Mother of Chu, her own wisdom and ability are equally important.

Just the current analysis of the situation between Suiyang and Pengcheng, this insight will surpass Li Yuan's.

"Tossing in vain is better than messing around." Empress Dowager Li also said helplessly.

"The general of the Qin army, Yang Ming, was in Dongjun last year, with 10,000 troops against the [-]+ Zhao and Wei allied forces. How did he do it? On the one hand, he held back the Zhao army, and on the other hand, he led the Wei army into a trap step by step. After the First World War, what we have to learn now is the method he used last year, but the situation we faced would be much better than Yang Ming at that time, because our strength is stronger, and we don't have that much appetite to go Pursue victory." Empress Dowager Li continued.

In the ninth year of Qin Wangzheng, the war between Qin and Zhao shocked the world. The Qin army won first and then lost. To turn things around, it can be said that the entire year of last year belonged to the two names of Yang Ming and Li Mu.

"It's just that it's cheaper for Wei Jun. It's really unfair to let them get such an important place as Suiyang." Li Yuan said helplessly.

"If the state of Wei is not abolished, we would not dare to throw the fat of Suiyang to the state of Wei. A dog that eats a piece of fat is still a dog, but a tiger that swallows the fat is different." Empress Dowager Li also said It's helpless.

Her thinking can certainly be called clever, but if there are other choices, how could they make such a decision of taking the lesser of two evils and drinking poison to quench thirst.

Suiyang and Shouchun are still under the order of Chu State, so the speed of news transmission between the two places is very fast.

Therefore, Xiang Yan soon received a military order from Shouchun.

Looking at the military order in his hand, Xiang Yan fell into hesitation. Suiyang left a group of elite troops to hold back the Wei army, and the main force went to the line between Pengcheng and Xiapi. There is no better choice, because the initiative is completely in Qin Jun's hands right now.

The main force of the Chu army moved to Xiapi, deployed defenses on the front line of Xiapi, and confronted the Qin army to ensure that the Qin army would not merge with the Wei army or wreak havoc on the Huaihe River of Chu State. This is the worst choice, but even if it is the worst choice It's also better than having no choice.

Under the city of Suiyang, within a radius of a hundred miles, Xiang Yan was not the only one who was frowning, General Wei Guo was also frowning.

"Brother Wei, the Qin army is unwilling to help?" Looking at Wei Yong who had gone and returned, the general of the state of Wei couldn't hide his distress. For the Wei army now, let alone capture Suiyang City, can Lian be in the army? It is a problem to remain undefeated in front of the Chu army.

Thinking of Qin Jun's aggressive attack all the way on the East Road, General Wei Guo felt even more uncomfortable. The most feared thing between people and things is the comparison. The liver and intestines are broken.

"General, fortunately, I have not disgraceful orders. I have persuaded Yang Ming, the chief general of the Qin army, that the Qin army will soon march eastward with the main force and join us in attacking the Chu army." Wei Yong said solemnly, his face His solemnity was gloomy in the eyes of General Wei, but now he became steady.

"It's so good, it's so good, with the help of the Qin army, we've decided on Suiyang City." General Wei Guo laughed.

"Brother Wei, you have made great contributions to the State of Wei this time. If you can win Suiyang, I will never forget your contribution." The General of the State of Wei did not forget to add.

"The old man is also from the state of Wei, so much is for the state of Wei, how dare he be greedy for merit." Wei Yong also greeted him with a smile, but under his smile, there was a slight coldness.

It's okay to fool those fledgling young people with these words, but to fool the old man?The old man also fooled others like this back then.Wei Yong sneered in his heart, only feeling that the familiar face and expression of this person in front of him was so disgusting.

What Wei Yong did was not to let the general remember his credit, his real purpose was to let King Wei remember his credit, and then make it possible for him to recover.

The general said it nicely, saying that he remembered Wei Yong's achievements, but the underlying meaning is that he is not going to sue the king of Wei, so what is it for a general to remember Wei Yong's achievements?Is the general's favor valuable?
Wei Yong has also played similar routines before, and he is more proficient at playing, so at this time, under Wei Yong's gratitude, there is a cold killing intent.

At this moment, by his side, there is already a first-class killer of Tianzi, a sharp sword who is completely under his control. Although he was exiled back then, how could the contacts who have been in Wei for most of his life be completely destroyed? Lost, as long as there is a suitable opportunity, the matter of people taking cold tea can also turn into people returning tea to be hot.

Among the Wei army under the city of Suiyang, there are quite a few people who still have some kind of friendship with him, Wei Yong, that can be honored when the trend is right.
