Chapter 594 Encirclement and suppression of Peng Yue? He doesn't have that ability! I am the king of Chu!
May 28th.
Helv Palace.
The ministers were sitting under the stage, and King Qi of Chu stood on the high platform, pacing back and forth: "A mere 20,000 soldiers and horses, is it not worth mentioning?"
Wang Qi of Chu spoke with fullness in his voice. It's anger: "Yanling City! Lingfu City!"
"Two cities fell!"
"Twenty-seven miles of ten villages were plundered, and officials were slaughtered or captured!"
"I will hand over the defenders of Helv City to you. My dear, I stopped building the city wall again and gathered 40,000 soldiers and horses."
"But what is the result?"
He threw the military newspaper in his hand on the ground. Wang Qi shouted angrily: "You can't pursue the enemy!"
"Another eleven miles of two villages were plundered by the enemy!"
"Our army was constantly harassed, and more than a thousand soldiers were killed in just five days, so we had to retreat to Wucheng City to rest and recuperate!"
In the rear of the Chu State, the 40,000 soldiers and horses of the Chu State were unable to complete the encirclement and suppression of the 20,000 Qin and Qi Allied Forces who came from the expedition. They were even beaten back to the city by the 20,000 Qin and Qi Allied Forces. They had to watch Qin The Qi coalition forces continued to cause chaos outside.
This is a shame.
What a shame!
One of the courtiers smiled apologetically and said: "Your Majesty, Yanling City and Lingfu City have been recaptured by our army..."
However, before the courtier could finish speaking, King Qi of Chu was already furious and shouted: "That's Did our army recapture it?"
"The enemy obviously left after looting."
"Our army just took over a building that the enemy gave us. Empty city!”
“That was given to me by the Qin and Qi kingdoms”
Listening to Chu Wang Qi's angry rebuke, all the courtiers lowered their heads.
But the look in their eyes was not one of unwillingness or shame, but of helplessness.
Heavy helplessness!
Zhao Cen stepped forward and handed over his hands, and said sincerely: "Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong with General Zhaoyun's military strategy."
"However, the enemy will find out about our army. The army immediately fled in all directions, giving our army no chance to fight."
"When Zhaoyun's troops are stationed and recuperating, the enemy troops will suddenly appear to harass our troops."
"When Zhaoyun's troops are exhausted from being unable to rest and recuperate for many days, the enemy troops will suddenly appear and harass our troops." The troops gathered together and launched a strong attack on our army!"
"When Zhaoyun's troops retreated, the enemy troops pursued our army one after another, causing a rout."
" Even if General Zhaoyun is good at fighting, he is powerless against such an enemy."
In the original history, Peng Yue was not only one of the three famous generals in the early Han Dynasty, but also the first. A military strategist who systematized guerrilla warfare and practiced it for a long time.
He was recognized by later generations as the originator of guerrilla warfare!
On the frontal battlefield, Xiang Yu could defeat Peng Yue's frontal defenses in just over a month, capture all of Peng Yue's territory, and make Peng Yue run away with his head in his arms.
But on the battlefield behind enemy lines, Peng Yue was Xiang Yu's most hated dog skin moss, and made an extremely outstanding contribution to Xiang Yu's defeat.
For a long time, military strategists called guerrilla warfare "Peng Yue's plan to defeat Chu!"
Although Peng Yue is still young now, he is far from as outstanding as he will be in the future.
But now Peng Yue has traveled thousands of miles with Ying Chengyu and has abundant war experience. He has also learned the sixteen-character mantra of guerrilla warfare taught by Ying Chengyu!
On the other hand, Zhaoyun was just a third-rate general left behind by Xiang Yan to guard the rear.
What did Zhaoyun use to encircle and suppress Peng Yue?
You know he doesn’t have the ability!
The King of Chu said decisively: "Then when the enemy forces attack our city walls, use the city walls to draw in the enemy forces, and then encircle and annihilate them!"
Zhaocen shook his head again: "After capturing Yanling City and Lingfu City, the enemy has not yet attacked any of our cities in Dachu. They just keep wandering in the countryside."
"There are many people in the countryside. Once the enemy troops arrive, the city wall can be captured, looted and retreated in at least half a day."
"The enemy troops have already withdrawn before our army receives the news!"
Chu! Wang Qi pondered for a moment and then said in a deep voice: "I know Lord Chang'an of Qin."
"This man is especially good at raiding the capital."
"This Qin-Qi coalition has been circling around Helu City."
"If everyone is right, even if this Qin-Qi coalition is wandering around, it will eventually attack Helu City."
“I, the great Chu, can use Helv City as bait to catch this big fish!”
This is not only the stereotype of King Qi of Chu towards Ying Chengyu, but also the current world’s attitude towards war. stereotype.
The purpose of sending an elite force into the enemy's territory is not to seize strategic fortresses, nor to seize marching bridgeheads, nor to burn down grain depots and cut off supplies. What else could it be for?
It must be to lure the tiger away from the mountain and then attack the capital!
Zhaocen said thoughtfully: "I do have an idea."
"Maybe this Qin-Qi coalition has no clear strategic goal at all."
"Their only purpose of entering the hinterland of our great Chu is to disrupt our rear area?"
Zhao Cen's words were hesitant.
Because this idea is indeed a bit whimsical in this era.
But the more he talked, the more determined Zhaocen became: "The purpose of this Qin-Qi coalition army is to disrupt our Chu rear!" The areas of activity are at least seven hundred miles apart, making it impossible to connect and even transport supplies for this enemy army. "
"This enemy army is really fighting alone and cannot hold the city even if it is captured. "
"But as long as this enemy army continues to be active in the rear of our army, our country in Chu will definitely be filled with resentment among the people. We will have to squeeze out more soldiers to encircle and annihilate this enemy army, and we will need to send more troops to protect it. Our army’s baggage transportation line.”
"If things continue like this, even if the front line is still confronting, there will be chaos in the rear of Chu State!"
Thinking about Zhaocen's words, all the Chu courtiers were shocked.
Does this enemy force need any clear goals?
No need at all!
As long as they continue to exist, they will always be a thorn in the heart of the Chu State, posing a threat to the heart of the Chu State at all times, and even causing unrest in the Chu State's rear.
And once there is turmoil in Chu's rear, Ying Chengxuan will have many ways to win the battle!
King Qi of Chu nodded slowly while thinking: "Your Majesty's words are reasonable!"
"But since this enemy army doesn't even have a clear goal, what should I, the great Chu, do? Annihilate this army?"
This sentence seemed to press the mute button in the court, causing all the courtiers to fall silent again. How to annihilate them all?
Chu State can only squeeze out 40,000 troops at most. How can it launch a total annihilation of 20,000 enemy troops that come and go like the wind, are slippery, and have no clear target?
They want to know too!
After a few breaths of silence, King Chu Qi turned around and sat down, and said slowly: "My beloved ministers have no idea, but I do have one."
Zhao Cen and other courtiers all looked up in shock. King Qi of Chu.
Those who often fight at war can't think of any countermeasures. What good plan can King Qi of Chu have?
King Qi of Chu continued: "Recall the Yan troops from Shangzhu State and retreat to the south of the Huaihe River."
"Use the Huaihe River to resist the Qin and Qi coalition forces."
"Use superior force against our army. A big net was pulled out in Chu territory to surround and suppress the enemy!"
All the courtiers subconsciously shouted: "No!"
"Absolutely not!"
< br>
"Your Majesty, think twice!"
Retreat to the south of the Huaihe River?
Then wasn’t this battle in vain?
King Qi of Chu looked down at the audience and asked seriously: "I don't want to retreat to the south of the Huaihe River."
"But the front line was defeated, and Shangzhu State tried to use the strategy of weakening the enemy to win the battle. Fighter, but Qin Chang'an Jun used force in the military market, making the Qi army more warlike. "
"And from now on, this army is rampaging and causing chaos in the hinterland of my great Chu!"
"My dear friends, please teach me how to fight this battle?"
"What will happen to our great Chu?" Win? ”
The whole audience was silent.
Facing the current predicament of Chu State, they really have no good solution.
King Qi of Chu sighed softly: "I don't want to retreat to the south of the Huaihe River!"
"However, with the war going like this, what can I do in vain?"
"As long as I, the great Chu, retreat to the Huaihe River To the south, the alliance between Qin and Qi has ended."
"I know the temper of Lord Qin Chang'an."
"This man seems to be reckless in his pursuit of war, but he is not good at all. Zhan, I like to play with gold juice recently.”
"Once the alliance between Qin and Qi is reached, Lord Qin Chang'an will definitely hand over the military power as soon as possible and return to Qin to continue hanging out with the golden juice he cherishes."
"I, Da Chu, no longer need to bear such pressure, it's okay Choose an opportunity to fight again!"
Zhao Cen took a step forward and said in a deep voice: "The king's strategy is to survive."
"However, after surviving, I will face what I am facing. This may lead to the destruction of the country!”
“I believe in Shangzhu Kingdom”
"Since Shangzhu Kingdom thinks there is still a chance of winning this battle, then there must be a chance of winning this battle!"
"I invite you again, hold on!"
The remaining courtiers also surrendered: "I second the proposal!"
Seeing that his proposal was rejected again, the courtiers all united to attack him.
The anger that Chu Wang Qi had suppressed for a long time finally burst out uncontrollably: "Your Majesty, do you think that if you follow this strategy, you will be the king of the country?"
Zhaocen bowed his hands and saluted again: "I really don't want the king to be the king of the country, and I don't want you to be the minister of the country."
"However, just because I don't want to, I have to speak!"
Zhaocen raised his eyes and looked at King Qi of Chu, with a firm voice: "If the king follows this strategy, Chu will perish!"
King Qi of Chu suddenly laughed.
Standing up, King Qi of Chu took off his crown.
Facing the astonished gazes of all the courtiers, Chu Wangqi placed his crown on the table and took a step sideways to make way for the big position that Chu Wangqi was willing to give up everything to fight for!
"Do you, my dear friends, think that I am willing to be the king who will subjugate my country?" King Chu Qi said angrily: "Does everything I do is for self-destruction?"
" Since you all think that I am incapable of becoming a king, I will give you the throne!”
Yang Wenjun Xiong Zhong suddenly sat upright and looked at the big man with greedy eyes.
If you say this, I will not feel sleepy!
But Zhaocen and other court officials immediately bowed down: "I have no such intention!"
"Please calm down your anger!"
Who would like this unfortunate throne? Who should sit down? They won’t sit down!
And all the courtiers can see clearly that the current state of Chu has long been in turmoil. Once the King of Chu takes the Zen throne, it will definitely make this war, which has already won less and lost more, completely failed!
Chu Wang Qi didn’t really want the Zen position at all.
He just wants to use this to force the ministers!
Sure enough, seeing that all the ministers were like this, King Qi of Chu did not mention the Zen throne again, and took advantage of the situation to shout: "My order!"
"Send the order to Shangzhu Guoyan to immediately lead his troops to retreat to the Huaihe River. To the south!”
"My dear friends, are you willing to listen to my order?"
If you don't support my order, then come and sit on the throne as soon as possible.
Otherwise.
I am the king of Chu!
Zhao Cen and other representatives of the rich families who stayed in the capital looked at each other, and could only sigh softly, and bowed their hands:
"Wei!"
