Mythical Qin: I, Gao Yao, will never be a eunuch!

At this moment, Xiang Yu was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped. He widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief. Conquering several cities in one day? This is simply a fantasy! Although he is confident that he can do it, the premise is to look at the geographical location! Minzhong is a sparsely populated place, which is completely different from the inland areas. The distance between the two counties is not close. Even if there is no war, it would take at least two days to run through these counties. Gaoyao has conquered four counties in one day. This speed is really terrifying.

At this time, Fan Zeng frowned as he listened to the messenger's report. Although he had roughly anticipated that Gao Yao might attack directly, he did not expect it to be so soon.

"Send troops immediately! If the enemy can do this, they must have sent light cavalry first. Quick, let Ji Bu lead 5,000 soldiers to ambush in Shaowu and block the enemy's vanguard. We must attack in one go and not give them a chance to breathe, let alone let them rush into Kuaiji. If they succeed, it will deal a huge blow to the morale of our army!"

At this time, Fan Zeng also immediately made an analysis. Although the previous strategy was defensive, the situation on the battlefield changed rapidly and a tug-of-war was needed. However, Gao Yao now obviously did not intend to fight a tug-of-war, but clearly wanted to launch a surprise attack on him.

This kind of battle must contain the enemy's vanguard. Otherwise, with the blessing of this momentum, once they reach Kuaiji, the morale of the army and the people will be seriously affected. Gao Yao had no intention of occupying Minzhong before, and Xiang Yu did not move after announcing the uprising. It was not that both sides did not have the ability to take Minzhong, but that Minzhong had become a buffer zone.

If the two sides were really too close to each other, they would probably have fought long ago. For Xiang Yu's side, Minzhong could be lost, but they absolutely could not let Gao Yao take Minzhong with overwhelming momentum, because this was not only related to the gain and loss of territory, but also to many aspects such as morale, people's hearts and strategic layout.

Fighting a war depends not only on logistics, the number of soldiers and the level of equipment, but more importantly on morale and public opinion. Once Minzhong is quickly conquered by Gaoyao, Kuaiji will face tremendous pressure, and may even trigger a chain reaction. At this time, Kuaiji will no longer only bear the threat from Gaoyao, but also have to deal with internal instability. If this panic spreads, Kuaiji will also fall into crisis.

Therefore, Xiang Yu had to find a way to stop Gao Yao's swift offensive and prevent it from easily occupying Minzhong. He needed time to adjust the strategic deployment, stabilize people's hearts, and strive for more resource support. Only in this way can we effectively curb Gao Yao's offensive pace and maintain the security and stability of Kuaiji. Otherwise, the situation may become extremely serious. They may not be able to hold out for three months, but face the dilemma of being besieged for three months. Once they are besieged, the situation will be completely different if they want to hold out for three months.

"In addition, you must lead the troops yourself and head to the coastal areas immediately. Since Gao Yao has mobilized his troops so quickly, it is very likely that he will fight in the coastal areas. Gao Yao may be planning to take over Kuaiji and Minzhong in one fell swoop before going to war with the court. We must not allow Gao Yao to be surrounded on both sides!" Fan Zeng said with a serious face.

"Okay, I'll go right away!" After listening to Fan Zeng's words, Xiang Yu did not dare to be careless. He immediately ordered the mobilization of troops to prepare to deal with Gaoyao's attack.

On the other side, outside Shanghang City, the continuous military tents were all outside the city, stretching endlessly at a glance, with military flags flying and murderous aura.

In the central army camp, Han Xin sat in front of a desk, staring quietly at the map carefully drawn by Gao Yao, with a serious expression and a thoughtful look in his eyes. He carefully studied every detail on the map, trying to find the enemy's weaknesses and opportunities.

After Prince Gao ascended the throne, Gao Yao immediately summoned all the generals for discussion, and then immediately decided to attack the people's Kuaiji immediately. They must take Minzhong and Kuaiji before the imperial army attacks the southern border. Otherwise, it will be easy for Xiang Yu and Yi Xiaochuan to face the enemy on two fronts. It's not that the southern border cannot be attacked, but the pressure on them will increase a lot.

Since it was going to move, Gaoyao had to use speed to defeat slow, giving full play to its advantages in personnel and equipment. For those counties that were relatively close to the Southern Border, they certainly knew more about the Southern Border. There was essentially no difference between following Daqin or following Gaoyao. The people even preferred the treatment in the Southern Border, which was a world of difference compared to their current life. The local counties naturally understood how to choose, so the fact that they took over four counties in one day was also due to the influence of the Southern Border.

Of course, this is only limited to some counties near the southern border. There is no such effect in counties a little further away. Another point is the tactical issues discussed by Gao Yao and Han Xin and others. In this regard, Gao Yao is naturally not as good as those who read military books. If it is to deal with a certain person, this is what Gao Yao is good at, but on the real battlefield, Gao Yao is very clear that everyone has their own expertise. He did not easily interfere with Han Xin's ideas, but only proposed a very classic combat method in later generations, blitzkrieg, which can also be called blitzkrieg.

The core elements of blitzkrieg include speed, surprise attack and concentration. In military operations, these three elements are not only strategic, but also tactical. From a strategic perspective, they require overall coordination and strong globality; from a tactical perspective, they require exquisiteness, flexibility and diversity. Its main purpose is to give full play to the advantages of soldiers and weapons and equipment, without any cover-up activities, and the main pursuit is the word "fast".

Once the other side notices something, there will be no time for them to react, thus quickly achieving the combat goal. The southern border happens to have such advantages: a complete transportation system, professional logistics forces, and the soldiers' excellent physical fitness and walking speed, which are far superior to those in central Fujian. In addition, there are tens of thousands of elite cavalry vanguard corps. As long as these natural advantages can be fully utilized, the essence of blitzkrieg can be successfully reproduced in the territory of Daqin.

However, although the morale of the Southern Border Army is high, Gao Yao still has some worries in his heart. He knows that the Southern Border Army is now a little too confident and even proud, especially those generals who look down on Xiang Yu. Even a Southern Border general like Kong Gang is full of disdain and contempt for Xiang Yu. However, only Gao Yao himself understands that Xiang Yu is not hailed as the "famous general of all ages" in vain. His strength is far beyond everyone's imagination, and his command ability is also one of the best in Chinese history.
