Daqin: Assist Zulong at the beginning and become a public enemy

Chapter 468
Chapter 478
Xiang Yu talked eloquently, and Zhao Tong, who originally wanted to explode because Xiang Yu interrupted his words, gradually became fascinated when he heard Xiang Liang's idea.

Indeed, if things are really as Xiang Yu thinks, then the general situation of Chu State is basically established, and at the worst, it can form a tripartite situation with Qin State.

This grand strategy was the result of a night of discussion between Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng.

It can be said that Fan Zeng has used the information currently available to the extreme, and he has keenly grasped the fatal flaw that the vast land outside the Daqin Pass is empty and the soldiers inside the pass are alternately old and new.

At first glance, this defect is not important, but if Chu Xiang's army enters Shandong and other places, it can change the previous attack route of Chu State, then Daqin basically does not have many troops to resist the raging of this group of troops.

Even Xiong Xin was a little excited at the moment.

But soon he thought of another thing.

That is military strength.

The state of Chu experienced heavy losses in the previous battle of Xingyang. The general lost his arm, and most of the hundreds of thousands of troops dispatched were also lost.

It has only been a few months now, and it is impossible to mobilize the army for such a large-scale campaign.

Although the strength of Qi is very weak, it is only compared with the past. If you want to annex it without bloodshed, you must use at least 20 troops.

But where can we find 20 troops in Chu State today?

Xiong Xin was puzzled, but Zhao Tong who was next to him thought of the answer.

Now the army of Chu can be said to be divided into three parts.

Xiang Yu has more than [-] elite soldiers in his hands, while Wu Rui has more than [-] troops with a hundred thousand soldiers in his hands.In addition, it is the [-] troops in the hands of the three of them.

The three families are like the three vertices of a triangle, and each has their own conflicts of interest, which enables Chu to maintain a balance.

But if the current strength of Chu State is used to start the war to destroy Qi, the balance of the three families will be broken.

Therefore, the best way to put Xiang Yu in front of him is to pull himself in.

Thinking of this, Zhaotong had no choice but to continue to live.

"Although what the general said is very good, our country of Chu is not strong enough. If there is another big war, it will be better to win a big victory. A miserable victory or defeat will seriously damage the national power of our country of Chu. If it is during the period, any of the four kingdoms of Zhao, Wei, Han and Qin If one country takes action, our Chu country will be in danger of being destroyed."

Xiang Yu frowned slightly, and turned around to look at Zhaotong in front of him: "So, at this once-in-a-thousand-year time, we just sit idly by? Don't you all forget why the Great Chu was once destroyed in the hands of the Qin State? It's you Waiting to sit back and watch other countries compete with Qin State, Qin State will continue to grow in power, even if my grandfather Xiang Yan is there to support it, it will eventually be destroyed. How long has passed, do you want to repeat the past? ?”

Zhaotong's complexion changed drastically, and he was about to speak when Xiang Yu knelt in front of Xiong Xin and said outrageously, "Your Majesty, anyone in the Chu Kingdom can stop fighting, because no matter who is sitting there, they can live happily ever after. Good. But the king cannot."

"Why?" Xiong Xin looked at Xiang Yu and asked strangely.

"Because Your Majesty and the State of Qin have a bloody enmity. The State of Qin has bullied us and the State of Chu for several generations, and the country and the family hate each other. Your Majesty must not forget it."

Xiong Xin's face suddenly sank, and at this moment he seemed to recall the scene when the Chu Kingdom was destroyed.

Even though he was just a child at the time.

"Okay, my widow understands. Pass the imperial edict and order the general to lead the army of the whole country, and all military deployments will be arranged by the general himself."

After that, Xiong Xin turned and left.

At this moment, Zhaotong was dumbfounded.

Although the King of Chu is a puppet, he is indeed a serious king.

If he is gone, Chu's regime will become loose, and there will be no need for them to exist.

Now that the king has issued an edict, if he does not obey, it is disobedience to the order of the king.

Zhaotong didn't expect Xiong Xin to change his mind so quickly, so fast that he didn't have any room for maneuver.

Thinking of his [-]-strong army, Zhaotong's heart was bleeding at this moment, but he knew that it was hard to get off now, if he disagreed, it would be tantamount to fighting against everyone.

Xiong Xin issued an edict, and Xiang Yu mobilized.

The army of Chu State who had been scattered around Shouchun for training began to gather towards Shouchun from all over the place, and everyone felt a kind of heavy pressure that the mountain rain was about to come and the wind filled the building.

Now the Chu army has a total of nearly [-] people.In addition, there are many strong men who were temporarily captured and can only be used to defend the city.

Among the more than 15 people, nearly 10 belong to the army of Xiang Yu's faction.Among these armies, there are nearly [-] Jiangdong soldiers, [-] Baiyue barbarians under Wu Rui's command, and tens of thousands of strong men captured from the common people.

The remaining nearly [-] people are jointly owned by the three major families of Zhao Qujing.

Of the more than 5 people, 5 were stationed in Shouchun City, the capital of Chu State today, and another [-] people were stationed in counties such as Anfeng, Quyang, and Liu'an near Shouchun City.

Among them, the 5 people stationed in Shouchun City are all equipped with some standard armor eliminated by the Qin army. They can be regarded as the most elite people in the army controlled by the Zhaoqujing clan.

Of course, their elite is only in terms of equipment.

At least in Xiang Yu's view, he only needs [-] Jiangdong disciples to defeat the [-] army on the plain, which is also equipped with Qin-style armor and weapons.

However, it was precisely because the [-] troops occupied Shouchun City first that Xiang Yu did not tear himself apart from Zhao Qujing's clan.

Shouchun City guarded by [-] troops.Even if Xiang Yu can break through.It also needs to pay a considerable price, not to mention that Xiang Yu has no intention of completely tearing his face with them now, he is waiting, and Xiang Yu has enough patience now.

Xiang Yu's army of more than 20 people can be truly considered elite, that is, there are actually less than [-] people who can fight in battle.Among the more than [-] strong men arrested, nearly half of them can only be used as a number, Xiang Yu knows this very well.

In order to ensure a stable situation, Xiang Yu does not intend to mobilize all the elite. Under Fan Zeng's plan, Xiang Yu will command an army of 1 troops, leading Fan Zeng, Long Qie and Yingbu.From Yinling County in Jiujiang, it directly enters Xuyi County in the East China Sea, and then crosses the Huaihe River from Xuyi to the north.Naturally, he couldn't let go of the 9 troops of Zhao Qujing's three families. Except for the [-] people left behind, he pulled the remaining [-] people into the chariot.

Obviously, the mobilization of hundreds of thousands of troops will not be completed in a short time.If food, grass, supplies and other items are added, it will take at least ten days.

What really needs to be prepared is the food and supplies needed by Xiang Yu's [-] troops who are going to go north from the East China Sea.

Fortunately, Jiujiang is already overcrowded, especially near Shouchun, where nearly a million people have gathered in a tiny place, and if you add the gathered soldiers, the number is far more than one million.

This action can be said to be an absolute secret of Chu State.

Except for more than a dozen people in Chu Palace, no one else knew about it.Externally, their goal was the Qin army on the north bank of the Huaihe River, but in fact, their goal was the state of Qi.
