Chapter 582 Xiang Yan: Don’t be such a bully! I, Wang Jian, must admit my mistakes!
Fortunately, the Chu army was good at running.
Fortunately, Chu generals are good at escaping.
Relying on the experience of being chased by Ying Chengyu many times and the unique escape speed of the Chu army, Xiang Yan commanded the Chu army to flee for three days and two nights without daring to stop, and finally got rid of the pursuers behind him. soldiers.
Looking at the Xiapi City Gate not far away, many Chu soldiers could not help but shed tears.
They are so difficult!
Qu Huan, Xiong Liu and other generals of the Chu army were all disgraced and bitter.
If they had a choice, they really didn’t want to accumulate so much escape experience!
Jingchou rode his horse beside Xiang Yan and said in a low voice: "In Shangzhu Kingdom, the generals of each department have counted their troops."
"There are twenty-five soldiers in each department. Nineteen thousand eight hundred and seventy-one people.”
"There are many other soldiers who were separated from the army during the flight, and it will take time to join our army."
All Chu generals knew that a large number of soldiers were indeed separated during the flight.
But it would be great to have thousands of soldiers who can return to the army before the end of this battle!
Qu Lu angrily threw his helmet to the ground and shouted sadly: "An army of 530,000! 530,000 soldiers!"
"After the first battle, I There are only more than 260,000 soldiers left in the army!”
"Our army was clearly fighting with the momentum of victory, so why did it suddenly suffer such a disastrous defeat!"
"Our army suffered such a disastrous defeat despite having 530,000 troops and the momentum of victory. This battle How to fight?"
"How to fight!"
Qu Lu said a lot of what Chu General was thinking.
We have an army of 530,000 soldiers, of which 250,000 soldiers are fresh reinforcements that have just arrived, and they are also carrying the momentum of victory. All forces within the army work together, and the entire army has the same goal. Before the war started, the Chu army almost had all the BUFF stacks!
Many Chu generals regarded this battle as a revenge battle against Ying Chengyu, and they were full of fighting spirit.
But a battle in Judu broke the morale of all the Chu generals.
With so many advantages, they were still defeated and even nearly annihilated by the Qin army.
Then how will they fight next?
Many Chu generals lowered their heads and began to figure out how to move around and move themselves from the front to the rear.
"Pa!"
Qu Huan slapped Qu Lu on the face and yelled angrily: "The head of a pig is as stupid as a dog's head!"
"Victory and defeat are common matters for military strategists. Although we are defeated, our army still has the strength to fight again."
"I will win this battle!"
"Bang!"
Throwing out another slap, Qu Huan said bitterly: "Pull this boy down with twenty sticks and a staff!"
"If you dare to disturb the morale of the army again, I will kill you!"
Qu Huan seemed to have dealt with Qu Lu harshly, but in fact he gave Qu Lu a way to survive.
Qu Lu hurriedly handed over his hand: "This is the last general who made a mistake, and the last general will admit his punishment!"
"Under the command of Shangzhu State, our army will definitely be able to fight Qin Chang'an and win. I, Dachu, have won a great victory!”
However, Xiang Yan shook his head desolately: "I can't do that."
Qu Lu's heart tightened, and he subconsciously thought that Xiang Yan said something ironic because he didn't want to forgive him.
Qu Huan also hurriedly handed over his hand: "Shangzhu Kingdom, although this son Qu Lu is a bit stupid, he is not worthy of the position of captain."
"However, this son is straightforward and dares to fight. "
"The Shangzhu Kingdom can make this son serve as a vanguard general to make up for his sins!"
Xiang Yan didn't even look at Qu Lu, but looked in the direction of Judu: "This general does not intend to punish the captain Qu Lu."
"But I really don't think that I can do it." After reorganizing the army, they immediately went north to fight against the Qin and Qi coalition forces and defeated them."
"Please don't think so, generals."
Qu Huan was shocked: "Shangzhu Kingdom. , you are..."
As a general, Xiang Yan's words like this are a devastating blow to the morale of the army!
Qu Huan wanted to ask Xiang Yan, have you been shattered by this defeat and are you starting to lose your confidence?
Xiang Yan's voice was very solemn: "At first, I thought that Lord Chang'an of Qin and General Jian of Qin changed generals before the battle, which caused a major change in the style of the Qin-Qi coalition."
"However, , after several days of hard fighting, I can be sure that Lord Qin Changan and General Jian of Qin are not changing their generals before the battle. "
"These two are actually commanding the Qin and Qi coalition forces at the same time!"
“Most of the time, the overall situation on the battlefield is commanded by Lord Changan of Qin, and the fine coordination and coordinated operations between the various units are commanded by General Jian of Qin.”
"But occasionally, General Jian of Qin will take over the command of the battle, and Lord Qin Chang'an will command a small force to attack the enemy."
"The same army was still executing Lord Qin Chang'an's order the next moment. We are already carrying out the orders of General Jian of Qin!”
After many days of fighting, Xiang Yan has clearly seen the command system of the Qin-Qi coalition in this battle through the change of tactics of the Qin-Qi coalition.
It is precisely because of the smooth transition of command between Wang Jian and Ying Chengyu that made Xiang Yan's battle so embarrassing!
Qu Huan, Xiong Liu and other Chu generals were stunned: "How is this possible!"
"How can one mountain accommodate two tigers!"
"How can one army accommodate two masters!"
"How could Lord Qin Chang'an be commanded by General Jian of Qin at the same time!"
How dare Ying Chengxuan give command to Wang Jian?
Isn't Ying Chengxuan afraid that Wang Jian will take the opportunity to usurp power, sideline Ying Chengxuan and become the real commander of the Qin-Qi coalition, leading this battle?
How dare Wang Jian take over the command assigned to him by Ying Chengyu?
Isn't Wang Jian afraid that after losing this battle, Ying Chengyu will blame Wang Jian for the defeat, making Wang Jian bear all the blame, and even be stripped of the title he earned after a lifetime of fighting!
There are no two days in the sky and no two masters in the country.
One door is opened with command, one hole is opened with sharpness.
One old saying after another shows that an army should only have one commander and one voice.
Even if Wang Jian and Ying Chengyu resolve their conflict of interests, it is likely to lead to a multi-dragon flood control situation. Even if every coach is very good, they will end up with a disastrous defeat due to multiple orders and failed coordination!
All the Chu generals could not accept Xiang Yan’s remarks!
However, Xiang Yan was extremely certain of his own judgment: "My general's judgment will not be wrong."
"I am not fighting Qin Chang'an Lord or Qin General Jian." . ”
“This general is actually fighting against the commander of Qin Changan and General Jian of Qin!”
Xiang Yan's eyes showed bitterness: "General, how can we win with military strategy!"
Asking Xiang Yan to fight against Ying Chengyu and Wang Jian respectively, Xiang Yan felt extremely stressed and was very likely to fight. but.
Now, Xiang Yan needs to face the closely complementary combination of Ying Chengyu and Wang Jian?
Isn’t this bullying?
Xiang Yan really has no intention of competing with the Qin and Qi coalition forces in Junlue.
Xiang Yan's words caused the morale of the Chu army to plummet again.
Qu Huan's voice was full of bitterness: "Shangzhu Kingdom, what should our army do?"
"What should we do in this battle?!" Xiang Yan took a deep breath , said in a deep voice: "This general is indeed unable to defeat Qin Chang'an Lord and Qin General Jian."
"However, the Qin-Qi coalition forces cannot defeat our great Chu warriors!"
"As long as the war is prolonged, the warriors in the Qin-Qi coalition will no longer have the ambition to make progress."
"Even if Qin Chang'an Lord and Qin General Jian have everything they can do, they can't put it to use."< br>
“I, the great Chu, will win!”
Xiang Yan admitted that he alone was no match for Wang Jian and Ying Chengyu.
If Wang Jian and Ying Chengyu were leading Qin soldiers and horses, Xiang Yan would definitely write a letter immediately to persuade Xiong Qi to surrender.
But fortunately, Wang Jian and Ying Chengyu are leading Qi troops in this battle!
If Wang Jian and Ying Chengyu were leading the Qin army, Ying Zheng would definitely help Ying Chengyu clean up the rear.
Can King Jian of Qi give Ying Chengxuan such support?
Qi’s system, culture, internal strife and many other problems cannot support Qi’s long-term war.
Even if Qi Wangjian strongly supports Ying Chengyu, reform will take time.
If they cannot reform Qi's reward system and solve Qi's internal strife, Wang Jian and Ying Chengyu will not be able to solve the old problem of Qi's army not being good at fighting for a long time!
Xiang Yan looked around at all the Chu army generals and said solemnly: "Stop having any illusions about ending the war in a short time."
"Stop thinking about the grain and money stored in the treasury."
"Everyone knows the style of Lord Qin Changan."
"Victory for this is a great victory for our army, and avenge the blood of the former kings and the robes who died in the battle!"< br>
"Please, generals, be patient!"
After saying this, Xiang Yan bowed his hands and bowed!
Xiang Yan's words raised the morale of all Chu army generals and gave them hope of victory.
Ying Chengyu and Wang Jian are indeed good at fighting, but wars are never fought only by generals!
Qu Huan, Jingchou and other Chu generals all handed over their hands with a bang: "Wei!"
Xiang Yan finally showed a smile: "With your help, our army will definitely win this battle!"
"Pass this order."
"Enter Xiapi City and reorganize the army. !”
……
At the same time, the Qin army was returning to Judu.
Ying Chengjian waved back the generals around him and asked his soldiers to surround a twenty-foot no-man's land. Then he smiled and handed over to Wang Jian: "General, congratulations, congratulations!"
"If this battle can be won, the king's general should be the first to win!"
"Without the king's general's help, this battle would have been defeated!"
Wang Jian slapped his chest: " That's natural!"
"Although the main force of the Chu army was let go due to the loss of the last general, the last general was definitely the first to achieve success in this battle!"
"Even in front of the king, the last general will say this!"
Wang Jian knew that Ying Chengyu knew that Wang Jian was deliberately avoiding credit, and he also knew Wang Jian's suffering.
But Wang Jian couldn't say.
There are some things that are tacitly understood if we don’t make them explicit.
To be clear, that is bullying!
Wang Jian will continue to pretend that he is an ordinary general who is greedy for credit, pleasure, and beautiful women.
After all, Wang Jian would never mistakenly think that the relationship between Ying Chengyuan and him was comparable to the relationship between Ying Chengyuan and Ying Zheng!
The corner of Ying Chengyu's mouth twitched slightly: "It is obvious that our soldiers were unable to catch up with the Chu army, so the main force of the Chu army escaped!"
"Your Majesty, General Wang, is not even responsible for this crime. Are they all taking it?"
Wang Jian stared: "How can you say that the last general is taking it?"
"The general is only responsible for one person's work, and he must admit his mistakes!"
Ying Chengyu became more and more speechless.
You must admit your mistakes?
It’s not your fault that you co-authored it, you admit it!
Suppressing the desire to complain, Ying Chengyu nodded and said: "Okay, since General Wang admits his mistakes, then I will not help General Wang cover up the guilt of letting the main force of the Chu army escape. ”
Wang Jian looked at Ying Chengyu warily.
To be courteous for nothing is to be either an adulterer or a thief!
Ying Chengxuan said directly: "Next, the State of Chu Shangzhu is likely to choose to prolong the war based on the weak points of our army, and use continuous harassment and war to disrupt the morale of our army and disrupt our arrangements."
“The King’s General also knows that this general is not good at long-term harassment battles.”
“So the next response to the harassment battle needs to be based on the King’s General!”
Wang Jian quickly yawned: "The general is already old. Although he can still mount his horse and fight, he is really tired."
"Chang'an Jun also knows that Zhao General Pang Nuan was exhausted to death." "
"Chang'an Jun doesn't want to be exhausted on the battlefield, right?"
Although harassment wars seem to be small-scale wars, they cannot be sustained for a long time. , how many military achievements will be produced?
Do you want me to resist such a feat?
No way!
The corner of Ying Chengyu's mouth slightly raised: "General Wang, you don't want your sin of letting go of the Chu army's main warship due to your failure in command to be known by your Majesty, right?"
Wang Jian's eyes lit up. .
Are you willing to give up this responsibility to me?
If you can bear this responsibility, then you won’t have much credit for this battle!
Wang Jian said with a righteous face: "If I behave upright and sit upright, how can I use the hands of Lord Chang'an to cover up my guilt?" Chu, please tell me all the details!”
“The general is willing to bear the responsibility of resisting the enemy’s harassment for the Lord of Chang’an, so as to atone for his sins!”
Lord of Chang’an, you are a good man!
