Chapter 455: If you treat me like a countryman, I will repay you as a countryman! Live to die!
Zhuang Qiu was silent for a few moments and then shook his head: "I don't know, the general."
"I dare to ask the king, if Lord Qin Chang'an really believes in the king's handwriting and chooses to stay stationary outside the city."
"How should our troops behave?"
The king of Chu, Fu Chu, glanced at Zhuang Qiu from the corner of his eye.
I have promoted you so that you can share my worries!
Now that you are encountering difficulties, you only know how to ask a few people?
I don’t even know!
Although King Chu had prepared more than a dozen baskets of backup plans, all plans were based on past intelligence and planned behavior for the future.
The King of Chu, Fu Chu, considered all aspects, but the former King of Chu, Fu Chu, never expected that Ying Chengyu would suddenly change his temper. The current King of Chu, Fu Chu, did not know what Ying Chengyu was thinking. .
In this case, any plan made by King Chu of Chu may not be as good as climbing the city wall and facing Ying Chenglong...
嘬嘬嘬!
Seeing that the King of Chu was silent for a long time, Zhuang Qiu continued: "I will not understand the thoughts of my colleagues in the court."
"But judging from the future, if Qin Chang'an Jun If you really believe the king's handwriting, then Qin Chang'an Lord may weaken his defenses."
"From E City to Helu City, the Qin army marched for 1,300 miles, even after resting for one day. It is impossible for the Qin army to complete its rest and recuperation. Instead, it may be as sore and unable to fight as when our army just fled back to the city.”
"Therefore, I think that the king may have created a good opportunity for a surprise attack."
"If the ministers of the court take this opportunity to go out of the city to attack at night and achieve a great victory, then the first victory should be attributed to the king. ! "
The king of Chu said coldly: "The Qin army's expedition is a good opportunity for our army to attack by surprise."
"It's a pity that the generals are timid and incompetent." br>
“In battle, we dare not leave the city for a surprise attack.”
"He, I don't want to give up my land."
"I just want to rely on the walls of Helv City to wait for reinforcements like a big rat!"
"Even if the enemy is currently unprepared, What's the use!"
Zhuang Qiu frowned slightly: "The general thought that the king did not want to fight, but only wanted peace."
The voice of King Chu was filled with anger. : "If we can win, how can I humble myself and seek peace!"
Who wants to lose if he can win?
All measures such as armed reform and weakening the powerful are just means to achieve the goal of rejuvenation and growth of the Chu State!
If Chu King Fu Chu had a general as good at fighting and loyal as Ying Chengyu, Chu King Fu Chu would definitely have this person lead his troops out of the city for a surprise attack as soon as the Qin army arrived, and then go all the way Chase down the Qin army and regain the lost territory!
Unfortunately, he didn't.
Facing an army of 180,000 led by Ying Chengyu, Wang Jian, Yang Duan and these three generals, no one under the command of King Chu Chu could resist him!
Zhuang Qiu looked at King Chu of Chu and said, "The general mistakenly thought that the king had no intention of fighting, so he did not come forward to accept the promise when the king ordered the general."
"Since the king is willing to fight, the general is willing to give it a try!"
The King of Chu was carrying the cud and showed a genuine surprise: "General Zhuang is planning to leave the city for a surprise attack?"
Zhuang Qiu nodded: "It won't take a few days for Qin Chang'an Lord to find out that he is waiting for him. If we don't have the envoy, we won't be able to stop our troops."
"Qin Chang'an will definitely attack Helu City by then, and it will be difficult for our city to resist."
"Even if we block the Qin army, our troops will have rested and reorganized by then. We will definitely be ordered by Ling Yin to go to the city to guard the city, and we will suffer a lot of damage in the battle."
"Rather than do this, the general will think it is better to take risks. Give it a try!"
King Chu frowned slightly: "General Zhuang, what chance do you think he has of winning?"
Things that even Xiang Yan, Zhaocen and others did not dare to do. , what qualifications do you have to do it?
King Chu of Chu responded with absolute distrust to Zhuang Qiu's request for war.
Zhuang Qiu also said calmly: "Less than 10%!"
"Those who are born as late generals have never read the military books thoroughly."
"Although I fought some battles when I was pretending to be a bandit, but But he is really unable to compete with the current generals such as Lord Qin Chang'an and General Qin Jian."
Seeing that Zhuang Qiu was still a little self-aware, King Chu frowned: "But, Ai Qing still asks for a fight! "
Zhuang Qiu nodded and said: "I think that even if the chance of winning is less than 10%, I can give it a try!"
"If we can win by chance under the protection of King Hongfu, we will not only be able to solve Helu's difficulties, but also reverse the situation of the war."
"I will spit out all the territory that Qin has invaded in this battle. I will Da Chu can also take advantage of Qin's weakness to return to Jianghan along the Shangzhu State's march route and regain the ancestral land of Da Chu! However, the king ordered the general to do it. "
"This further proves the incompetence of the ministers and the wisdom of the king, which will definitely strengthen the king's reputation!"
Zhuang Qiu outlined! The future is bright.
If Zhuang Qiu can really defeat the Qin army, Chu will not only not lose its territory, but also expand its territory significantly!
As for Zhuang Qiu, who was single-handedly promoted by King Chu of Chu, Zhuang Qiu’s victory would bring huge benefits to King Chu of Chu. Even without armed reform, Zhuang Qiu would be able to An opportunity to clean up the court and complete the reform!
But could the King of Chu not think of these benefits?
The King of Chu was not moved at all, and asked directly: "But have you ever thought about it?"
"If Aiqing is defeated, what price will my great Chu bear?"
Zhuang Qiu said seriously: "The last general will probably be defeated."
"But the last general leaving the city to attack at night can make Qin Chang'an understand how serious the contradictions within our country are, and it can also dispel his expectations. The illusion of stopping the troops."
"Qin Chang'an Lord may be angry because of our sneak attack, and then follow our army to attack Helu City immediately."
"This! Not only will it cause great losses to the troops under the common people, but it will also make the Qin army vulnerable, making it easier for the generals to defeat the Qin army!" Zhuang Qiu bowed his hand and said: "The general will not penetrate deep into the enemy's army."
"Even if our army is defeated, the general will fight to the death and let as many of our soldiers as possible escape back to Helu City without delaying the king's plan!"
Zhuang Qiu's plan is simple and superficial.
However, King Chu was moved.
Although the defeat of Zhuang Qiu's troops is very likely, the losses are controllable, and it is possible to break the current calm and drag the development of the war back to the script of the King of Chu.
What if we win... Then the dilemma faced by Chu State and King Chu can be solved in one battle!
With low risk and high returns, how could the King of Chu not be tempted?
But the King of Chu shook his head slightly with his cud in his hands: "This strategy is too dangerous."
"The Zhao'an Army is a military force that I have high hopes for, and it cannot be used lightly for adventure. "
Zhuang Qiu said in a deep voice: "The general will only take three thousand elite troops out of the city after recuperation, and the rest of the troops will stay in the city."
"The imperial edict will not be safe. There were many casualties in the army."
The King of Chu was surprised, "Three thousand?!"
"General Zhuang wants to lead only three thousand troops and horses to attack an army of 180,000 at night?!"
Zhuang Qiu nodded. Nodding: "A night attack does not require many soldiers and horses."
"As long as our troops can disrupt the enemy's army, the enemy troops will trample each other to death."
"And if our army is defeated , the loss of three thousand soldiers and horses will not hinder the king’s overall plan.”
Zhuang Qiu once again added a chip to the scale in King Chu's heart.
If only three thousand Zhao'an troops came out of the city to fight, even if the entire army was annihilated, it would not ruin King Chu's overall plan to bear Chu.
The King of Chu said solemnly: "No!"
"General Zhuang is my confidant and favorite general. How can I bear to let General Zhuang embark on a battlefield where defeat is almost inevitable!" "
Zhuang Qiu squeezed out a hint of emotion and suddenly handed over his hand: "Zhuang is an orphan and a waiting person. He deserves to die in the dark streets. "
"Thanks to your Majesty for not giving up, I will be promoted to the general of Chu after I am the last general."
"The last general knows that his ability is low and not as good as other generals."
"It's just that the battle is almost certain to be defeated, so the last general has the courage to ask for the battle."
"The last general also knows that this battle is dangerous."
"However, you treat me as a national soldier, and I will repay you as a national soldier. , the general will die without regrets!”
The King of Chu carried Chu and hurriedly helped Zhuang Qiu up: "General Zhuang, please get up quickly!"
"I know that General Zhuang is eager to repay his kindness, but he cannot spare his own life!"
>"Only by leaving it to be useful, can you and I, the monarchs and ministers, seek welfare for the great Chu and the head of Guizhou in the future!"
Hearing what King Chu Chu said, Zhuang Qiu thought that King Chu Chu was going to veto his own plan. It was proposed.
But before Zhuang Qiu could say anything, King Chu Chu's words had changed: "Three thousand soldiers and horses are too few and too dangerous."
"General Zhuang should at least lead five thousand soldiers and horses to the expedition, otherwise, I will not allow this strategy!"
Zhuang Qiu's expression stiffened for a moment.
He hurriedly lowered his head and handed over his hands: "I will obey your orders!"
"Your Majesty's favor will be remembered in my heart!"
The King of Chu bears the cud. His eyes were gentle and full of hope as he looked at Zhuang Qiu: "I don't want to win this battle, but I want to be able to have a drink with General Zhuang!"
Zhuang Qiu nodded vigorously: "The final general will fight back to Helu City at all costs!"
——
The cock crows the next day (1:00).
Under the deep night, a gap slowly opened in the north gate of Helu City.
A Zhao'an soldier wearing leather armor quietly slipped out of the city along the gap.
Upstairs at the city gate, Zhaocen watched Zhao'an's army being swallowed up by the night, with doubts in his eyes: "Didn't the former king try his best to resist the war and work hard to promote a truce?"
"The Qin army has never taken the initiative today. Why did the king change his mind about attacking the city? "
Although for every day that Ying Chengyu holds his troops, Helu City needs to hold on for one less day, and the chances of it being breached are also one less. .
But no one thought that Ying Chengyu would change his temper for no reason. All the generals were thinking about Ying Chengyu's possible strategies and were waiting with fear for the Qin army's attack.
As a result, the King of Chu suddenly changed his attitude. Instead of seeking a truce, he sent troops and horses to prepare for a sneak attack on the Qin army!
Zhaocen and other court officials felt that their heads were filled with questions.
This battle was too weird!
Jingchou said softly: "I have never seen the king's order, nor have I seen the eunuch beside the king walking with him."
"Has the king changed his mind, or is this the case? It’s unclear whether Zhuang Qiu has changed his mind.”
“But whoever has changed his mind is good news to me, Da Chu.”
Zhaocen nodded in agreement upon hearing this.
Even if the King of Chu did not change his mind, as long as the Zhao'an army is willing to participate in the war, they can harvest a large amount of cannon fodder to reduce the sacrifices of the children of all races!
Zhaocen looked up and looked in the direction where Zhuang Qiu's troops disappeared, and murmured softly:
"I don't know what the general wants."
"Of course, I wish. The general returns victoriously!”
