Chapter 432 Offensive and defensive transformation! I'm waiting for my thigh, what are you waiting for?
The thieves in the Chu region never dreamed that they, who were usually despised by everyone, would now become the most popular.
Wave after wave of messengers or letters reached the various bandit villages.
Some large-scale bandit gangs even received more than a hundred Zhao'an documents at the same time, which made these uncultured bandits feel very confused!
But this also gave a clear signal to all thieves.
The days of freedom are gone forever!
The thieves had to make a choice.
Either they secretly take their family members and rush to Qin State, or they select young and upright ones to form an army in the direction of Echeng.
Either they followed the orders of the common people to expand rapidly, or they followed the orders of the King of Chu to burn down the noble towns.
Different choices plunge Chu Di into chaos.
The escape of the servants and the secret instigation of Zhuang Jia further aggravated the chaos.
For a time, the Chu Kingdom’s rear area, which was supposed to be stable, turned into a mess!
But the Qinchu front line was strangely calm.
January 6, the twelfth year of the Qin Dynasty.
In Fancheng Water Village, on the building and boat, Jingchou said in a deep voice: "The State of Qin has completed the replacement of all officials in Nanyang County and Nan County."
"Coupled with the garrison troops stationed in various cities by Lord Qin Chang'an, it will be difficult for the Zhucheng people who our army secretly lobbied to play their role."
"Qu Zuoyin's troops were at a slight disadvantage and have now retreated to Xiangcheng. "
"Qin General Meng Wu has besieged Neihuang City for more than two months. However, Zhao Guo has not ordered Zhao Wuanjun to withdraw his troops."
"Zhao Wuanjun is still fighting Qin on the Taihang Mountains. The generals confronted each other. "
For three full months, the battlefield of the Three Kingdoms fell into a stagnant situation.
Qin didn't seem to worry about the increasingly thin grain storehouses at all, and accompanied other countries in the snow.
The situation was so strange that even Jingchou felt uneasy.
Xiang Yan asked in a deep voice: "Is there any recent movement under Lord Qin Changan's command?"
Jingchou's expression became increasingly strange: "The main force of Lord Qin Changan's command is still in Echeng. Study. ”
After Ying Chengxuan conquered Echeng and Xiang Yan conquered Dengcheng, Yingchengxuan led the main force to settle in Echeng.
Then, start learning!
Other military camps were filled with shouts of killing and training.
But Ying Chengyu’s military camp was filled with the sound of reading!
If someone who doesn’t know sees it, they won’t think it is a military camp at all, but will mistakenly think it is some kind of college entrance examination assault concentration camp!
Xiang Yan frowned: "Still studying?!"
"What do you want, Lord Qin Chang'an!"
Xiang Yan couldn't understand and was greatly shocked.
Although after the last war, Xiang Yan already knew that Ying Chengyu was somewhat abnormal.
But Xiang Yan never expected that Ying Chengyu could be so abnormal.
If someone else had done this, Xiang Yan might have laughed it off.
But it turns out that the person who made such a strange move was Ying Chengyu, so Xiang Yan couldn't help but think about it!
Jingchou whispered: "In Shangzhu Kingdom, the Zhao'an army under General Xiong has arrived at the front line and is ready to fight at any time."
"The general thought that he would just wait a little longer. For a few months, Qin Changanjun's troops may still continue to study."
"However, the situation in the country is no longer sustainable."
"Many generals hope to end this as soon as possible. War.”
"The last general admonishes us to fight quickly!"
This battle consumes the food and grass of the nobles and uses the soldiers of the nobles.
Coupled with the current predicament of a fire in the backyard, the longer this battle lasts, the greater the losses the nobles will suffer.
Xiang Yan shook his head: "Qin Changanjun, who is famous for his quick battles and quick battles, is uncharacteristically stationed in Echeng this battle, not seeking a decisive battle."
"Qin Changanjun It will not be aimless, and it will not suddenly change its tactical thinking.”
"However, I have not yet figured out what he wants."
"A decisive battle now is too dangerous."
"Continue to wait and continue to observe!"
< br>Under Xiang Yan's insistence, the Chu army stood still.
However, Xiang Yan waited for more than half a month. The only change made by Ying Chengyu's department was to change the recited law from "Junjue Law" to "Jinbu Law"!
Xiang Yan didn't know how long Ying Chengyu had to wait.
But Xiang Yan couldn't wait any longer.
To be precise, the major clans can no longer wait!
"Shangzhu Kingdom, the domestic situation is becoming more and more serious."
On the building boat, Jingchou's voice was full of solemnity: "More and more child servants are killing the master's family. , just gathering dozens or even a few people dare to publicly declare that they are bandits.”
"Then they attacked and killed the common people in the countryside, even the nobles, burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of evil!"
"Now there are thousands of bandits in the country, and they are still growing."
"If our army remains in a stalemate for a long time, the country will be worried!"
In the early stages of suppressing bandits, Zhao'an achieved quite good results.
But as the work in Zhao'an progressed, the people of Chu were surprised to find that it turned out that as long as they played a temporary role as a bandit, they could complete the gorgeous transformation from child servants to common people!
Who would be willing to be a child servant if he could be a commoner?
More and more child servants have other ideas, turn themselves into bandits in various ways, and then wantonly satisfy the dark side of their hearts without any scruples!
Because they know that no matter what they have done, as long as they accept the imperial edict, it will be wiped out.
In order to be imprisoned as soon as possible, some people even deliberately burned, killed, and looted, trying to make themselves more infamous.
This directly leads to a vicious circle.
The more peace is issued, the more bandits there will be!
Today, a large number of savages who were hidden by nobles in hidden houses and deep mountains and forests have emerged.
Even the King of Chu discovered for the first time that there were so many young men in his country!
After Xiang Yan was silent for a long time, he looked in the direction of Echeng with a calm gaze: "Is this the reason why Lord Qin Changan gave up the quick battle?"
"He is waiting for me, Da Chu. Self-rebellion!" Originally, the Qin army had a sharp knife of food and grass hanging over their heads, forcing the Qin army to fight decisively as soon as possible.
But now, the more urgent sharp blade of civil strife hangs over the Chu army.
The initiative has changed hands!
Jingchou’s face was also extremely serious: “Although Lord Qin Changan was a general, he was a lobbyist when he first entered the world. Moreover, several changes in the political situation of the Qin State were also attributed to Lord Qin Changan. Figure."
"This person is good at military strategy and national affairs!"
"The current situation is most likely caused by the deliberate guidance of Lord Qin Chang'an."
"Shangzhu Kingdom, what should our army do?"
Xiang Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
What worries him most is not knowing what Ying Chengyu is thinking.
Now that Ying Chengyu’s thoughts have been figured out, Xiang Yan feels relieved.
Xiang Yan immediately issued an order: "Send the order to the whole army to pull out the camp!"
"Go straight to E City!"
"Send the order to the An army and immediately turn towards the direction of E City."
< br>Jingchou excitedly raised his hands and said, "Wei!"
One by one, the warships put away their anchors and carried the Chu army to gather along the Han River and the Yangtze River.
January 28th.
On the Echeng section of the Yangtze River, nearly ten thousand boats of various colors almost blocked the river!
More than 370,000 Chu troops gathered around Hubei City, and the flags belonging to the Chu State were flying wantonly.
Xiang Yan's troops finally completed the successful rendezvous with Xiong Xun's troops.
Stepping onto the boat, Xiong Xun solemnly handed over his hands: "Greetings to Shangzhu Kingdom!"
Xiang Yan smiled and returned the salute: "I never thought that I would see Xiong Houxiang again on the battlefield." General."
Xiong Xun raised his hands in the direction of Helu City and said solemnly: "Thanks to the great king's trust, I have made this general the commander of this army."
"General. Be prepared for panic!"
"The three hundred thousand men under my command are all willing to serve the Shangzhu Kingdom."
"I only hope that I can use my meager strength to help Shangzhu and the flag open to victory!"
Xiang Yan said directly: "Zhao'an's army is full of bandits from Zhao'an. Their fighting strength is usable, but their morale is scattered."< br>
“Therefore, the Zhao’an army can only serve as a supplement in this battle, taking on the responsibilities of carrying the baggage and getting on board first.”
Xiong Xun took a step forward, approached Xiang Yan and whispered: “Of course, Please go to Zhuguo and show mercy to Zhuang Qiu, Chen Li and others."
Xiang Yan nodded lightly and responded in a low voice: "Please tell your Majesty, I know what I know."
Xiong Xun returned to his original position and held his hands solemnly: "The Zhao'an army obeys the orders of Shangzhu Kingdom!"
Xiang Yan said in a deep voice: "Order!"
"Qu Che's troops are stationed in the east city. ”
“The Douzhan Division is stationed in the West City”
“The Jingpo Division is stationed in the North City”
"Zhao'an Army and Chen Bing will attack the east, west and north cities immediately!"
All the Chu army generals raised their hands in unison: "Wei!"
——
With At the same time, the northern city wall of Hubei City was built.
Looking at the Chu army boats filling the river and the Chu army continuously pouring towards Hubei City, Ying Chengyu murmured softly: "We are here after all."
"The army is approaching!"
Ying Chengyu couldn't figure out why Xiang Yan didn't move for so long.
But since Xiang Yan doesn't move, Ying Chengyu is also happy to be at ease.
His teammate is Wang Jian!
As long as he stops Xiang Yan, will Wang Jian still be unable to defeat Qu Huan?
While Xiang Yan was thinking about it every day until he was bald, Ying Chengyu was teaching his disciples every day, patiently waiting for Wang Jian to open the victory, waiting to hold Wang Jian's thigh steady, without panic at all.
Unfortunately, before Wang Jian's victory was reported, Xiang Yan's troops had already marched down, making Ying Chengyu's plan to win in vain!
Yang Hu said in a deep voice: "The Chu Zhao'an army has expanded to 300,000, and the leader of this army is the newly promoted general Xiong Xun."
"According to the inquiring, this army will be After arriving in Echeng, he merged into the army of Chu Shangzhu and accepted the command of Chu Shangzhu. "After joining forces, Chu Shangzhu's troops will have 370,000 soldiers!"
After Meng Nan, Cen Bian and other five captains were stationed in various places, the main regiment under Ying Cheng's command only had 100,000 soldiers and horses left.
These 100,000 troops are enough to fight against Xiang Yan's own troops.
But with the arrival of the Zhao'an army led by Xiong Xun, the strength of the Chu army was nearly four times that of the Qin army!
The terrain of E city, surrounded by rivers on three sides and facing mountains on one side, was not conducive to the Qin army.
With a disadvantage in terms of numbers and geographical advantages, heavy pressure lingered in the hearts of all the Qin army generals.
Ying Chengyu said calmly: "It's just a mob."
"Send an order to Captain Meng Nan to immediately send troops out of Shandu County to seize Longzhong and Beijin garrison."
"Send an order to Captain Meng Nan to reinforce the capital from the west. Wei Mengnan's troops are ready to go south for reinforcements at any time."
"The order was sent to Captain Xin Sheng and the Commandant Wang Pan to immediately ascend the city and guard the city wall."
"The order was sent to Captain Li Xin. Go out of the east city gate and charge into the formation."
"Order the remaining troops and horses to rest in the city!"
As Ying Chengyu issued orders one by one, the Qin army in Echeng moved accordingly.
A quarter of an hour later.
The east gate of Echeng is wide open.
Li Xin ran out at the lead, roaring angrily:
"Charge!"
