Qin Shi Luo Net People

Chapter 903 Nongyu, he can stand still

The end of the year is approaching, but the confrontation between Qin and Chu has not stopped, and even the sound of friction is getting louder and more frequent.

At this moment, in the tent of the Qin army.

Wang Jian looked at the layout of the Chu army on the sand table, his eyes narrowed, he stroked his beard, and remained silent.

Based on his many years of experience in leading the army, the 60 troops led by Xiang Yan have nowhere to go. With no way out, they can only defeat the Qin army, especially when this year's winter is more severe than previous years. Under such circumstances, the situation of the Chu army is becoming more and more pessimistic. From the frequency of the opponent's attacks, it can be seen that the opponent is becoming more and more impatient.

It wasn't that Xiang Yan couldn't bear his temper, but that the overall situation forced him to end the battle as soon as possible, even if it was a tragic victory, he had to repel the Qin army.

The two countries have been at war for nearly a year.

The strategic failure during this period led to the occupation of most of Chu's land by the Qin army, and the loss of a lot of rice fields. , It is bound to miss next year's spring planting.

This will create a vicious circle until it drags Chu State into a situation where it will never be restored.

The Battle of Changping was the best example.

If the army does not have enough food, grass, and supplies to support it, even if it has a million-strong army, it will lose its combat effectiveness if it starves for a few years.

"Brush~"

A burly man in silver-gray armor slowly walked into the camp. The person who came was Wang Jian's son Wang Ben, who bowed his hands to Wang Jian: "The last general will see the general."

"come and see."

Wang Jian raised his hand, signaling for Wang Ben to stand by his side.

Wang Ben's eyes flickered, he walked to Wang Jian's side, and looked at the position he pointed.

The distribution of troops on the sand table is extremely detailed and can be seen at a glance.

Wang Ben noticed the problem after just a few glances. A sharp brilliance flashed in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Xiang Yan is going to launch a general attack? No wonder the Chu army's attack has become more and more sharp these days. The situation in Chu State is not very good."

"This is the news from Shadow Secret Guard and Luo Wang."

Wang Jian took out a secret letter from his pocket and handed it to Wang Ben. Then he stroked his beard, looked at the sand table, and squinted his eyes. Deep in his eyes, there was a glimmer of light, and he began to think.

Wang Ben didn't disturb Wang Jian's contemplation, opened the secret letter and looked at it. With just one glance, a smile appeared on his face, and he said softly: "There is not enough food and grass, as expected. Given the current situation of Chu State, it can support 60 yuan now." Wan Dajun."

60 troops, this is not a simple small number, the food and grass consumed every day is an astronomical figure.

It is difficult to estimate the money spent in the stalemate for more than half a year.

In the Battle of Changping, the three years of confrontation between Qin and Zhao exhausted the national power of the two countries from top to bottom, and this did not interfere with the spring planting of the two countries. At present, most of the land of Chu State Losing is worse than the battle of Changping back then. One year is already the limit, and it is impossible to continue to drag it on.

"Chu's food and grass can last up to three months, and next summer will be the time for the decisive battle."

Wang Jian said in a calm tone, and at the same time planted a flag on Qicheng, which was the place he had chosen for the decisive battle of the Chu army.

"here?"

Wang Ben was a little surprised. This is the hinterland of the Chu army. Could it be that the Chu army will continue to retreat eastward?

Wang Jian said in a deep voice: "He has no choice, we can only choose the place for the final battle."

Xiang Yan wanted a chance for a decisive battle, Wang Jian naturally couldn't give it to him, and Xiang Yan wouldn't be so stupid as to sacrifice his life, the army in his hands was the last hope of Chu State, and he couldn't if there was no trace of victory in sight. Betting rashly, the final outcome is naturally to retreat.

This is the best time for the Qin army to dispatch.

Wang Ben frowned, and asked in a concentrated voice: "Is it a little too prudent?"

"We are not short of food."

Hearing this, Wang Jian showed a smile, and said softly, he hadn't experienced this kind of battle for so many years that he was so rich that he could fight casually. In the past, the biggest problem that restrained him was food and grass, but now, the state of Qin is There is really no shortage of food, and it can sustain it completely. It can consume Xiang Yan and Chu State to death.

When Wang Ben heard this, a look of helplessness flashed in his eyes. The old man made such a decision, and he obviously couldn't refute anything.

"You lead 20 troops to stand by here."

Wang Jian continued, pointing to a city at the junction of Chu and Wei, which is close to the Yangtze River and the Huai River, it is a strategically important place, the most important thing is that it is very close to the rear of the Chu State, and can be entered at any time , which means to force the Chu army to retreat.

Wang Ben pondered for a moment, then said: "Will the Chu army take the bait?"

Wang Jian stroked his beard lightly, and said with a gloomy gaze: "A person in a desperate situation will never give up any hope of survival. This is the hope I gave him, and he can only hold on to it."

Wang Ben nodded, and had to admit that he was not as good as his father in terms of controlling people's hearts.

"This battle won't last long."

Wang Jian looked at the sand table and whispered to himself.

. . . . . . . . . . .

Xianyang City, Taifu Mansion.

Luo Yan was frowning and looking at the battle report from the front line. Even if he was not on the front line, he could still see the madness of Chu State from the battle report. That kind of madness at all costs is like a group of mad dogs biting the defense line, trying to block Qin State. Bite a slit.

This is the consequence of not having enough food... Luo Yan muttered in his heart, as long as there is enough food and grass, Xiang Yan will not be in such a hurry.

The outcome of the Battle of Changping back then was caused by a stutter, but if there is a stutter, the outcome of the battle between Qin and Zhao is still unknown.

"Food is always the key to the peace of a country. If you don't have enough to eat, it's useless."

Luo Yan said softly, and immediately thought of crops such as sweet potatoes, cassava and corn, a smile flashed in his eyes, just finding these things for the Central Plains, this life is not a waste of time.

Next year, births can be encouraged, and the population will be raised first.

Set a small goal and break [-] million.

Outlining the blueprint in his heart, Luo Yan also immersed himself in writing it on paper. He first drew up a draft, and then just threw the details to Li Si and others next year.

Before I knew it, I was already busy until late at night.

Luo Yan put down the pen in his hand, stood up and stretched, and circulated his inner breath to relieve his mental fatigue. He packed his things immediately, looked out the window at the dark night, and asked, "What time is it?"

"Haishi."

The black crow's voice sounded outside the door, low and clear.

It's almost ten o'clock... Luo Yan straightened his clothes immediately, then walked outside the house, glanced at Mo Crow standing guard outside the door, and said calmly: "Old rules."

I didn't enjoy myself last night, so I can add another clock tonight.

It seems to be getting colder tonight... Mo Ya muttered in his heart, but reminded him: "My lord, I haven't checked the whereabouts of the ladies today."

The subtext, he doesn't know if the wives will suddenly come over to check the ward. Yesterday's situation was special. Madam Hu and Hu Meiren just arrived, so it's easy to investigate their movements, but today is different, especially when it concerns Luoyan's inner courtyard. Luo Yan's women are getting fiercer than each other, even if they want to stare at them, it's impossible.

What's the use of you... Luo Yan sighed softly in his heart, but said calmly on his face: "It's okay, I'm just going to chat with my sister-in-law."

Do you think the wives will believe this point of conversation... Mo Ya complained in his heart, and could only helplessly answer: "The subordinates will be watching outside."

"Be smart."

Luo Yan flicked his capacious sleeves, and without saying a word, he swaggered towards Mrs. Hu's room. With his eyesight, it was not difficult to find that Mrs. Hu's courtyard was still lit.

This must be reserved for him, Luo Yan is very sure.

That's all, as long as you are happy... Mo Ya's face is full of helplessness, he has an intuition that something will happen to Luo Yan sooner or later, whoever makes Luo Yan always likes to play with fire, he can't bear it, wait for Mrs. Hu and the others to return to the house and talk about it. If you want to do this at home, if you get caught, it's really hard to argue.

Luo Yan is indeed in a good mood at the moment. Stealing is sometimes a very interesting thing. The fun comes from trying. You have to try in life. If you don’t try, how will you know whether you are happy or not.

Soon Luo Yan came to Mrs. Hu's courtyard, looked at the dark room, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he couldn't help striding over, coughed lightly, with an upright look on his face, he reached out and knocked on the door , said in a low voice: "Sister-in-law, open the door, it's me, I'm here to talk to you about something."

The room was quiet for a while, and then a nervous voice came out: "Hey...it's getting late, I'll talk about things tomorrow, I've already rested."

And steal the bell again.

Luo Yan smiled, and complained with some dissatisfaction: "Sister-in-law is too much, she called me softly last night, but she didn't even open the door to me tonight, isn't this bullying honest people! If you do this again, don't blame my brother, I will force you Break in!"

After speaking, he knocked on the door again, this time a little harder.

At this moment, Mrs. Hu in the room wanted to die, and her voice was a little flustered: "What nonsense are you talking about."

What are you afraid of being an old couple... Luo Yan was a little surprised, but soon he felt that something was wrong. It seemed that there was not only Madam Hu's aura in the room, but another aura that was familiar but also a little strange. Obviously it can't be a Humei.

Luo Yan's expression froze, his small head was thinking quickly, and suddenly a few bold thoughts emerged, his lips were instantly dry, his heartbeat slowed down by a beat, he pursed his lips, changed the topic, and laughed dryly: "Sister-in-law! It's a joke, sister-in-law, don't blame me, brother, I like to mess around, you know, since sister-in-law is resting, let's talk about it tomorrow."

After finishing speaking, Luo Yan was a little panicked and decided to leave, as if there was some kind of monster in the sister-in-law's house.

There is a saying, the more you are afraid of something, the more the other party will come.

This is not.

Just a few steps away from Luo Yan, a familiar voice came from inside the room: "Brother Luo, please stay."

The familiar voice made Luo Yan's figure stiff, and at the same time, the lights in the dark house turned on, the light dispelled the darkness, and at the same time illuminated Luo Yan's figure, very much like catching thieves in those gangster movies In the plot, countless lights converged.

"Crack~"

The door was slowly opened, and a unparalleled and beautiful figure was reflected in Luo Yan's eyes.

Wearing a pink and white tulle nightdress with thin belts binding her waist, she looked like a willow in early spring. Her delicate face was extremely beautiful. Those eyes, which were quite gentle and elegant in the past, looked at Luo Yan with some disappointment at this moment. His lips were tightly pressed together, as if he didn't know what to say to Luo Yan.

Before opening the door, she felt an uncontrollable anger in her heart, but after opening the door, the moment she saw Luo Yan, the anger seemed to turn into disappointment and deep loss.

Mo Crow's crow's mouth... Luo Yan cursed inwardly, he decided to let Mo Crow pass on white clothes from tomorrow, black clothes are too moldy.

Mo Ya, who was hiding in the dark at the moment, also blinked his eyes when he saw this scene. After confirming that everything was true, he couldn't help saying: "Something happened..."

After finishing speaking, he couldn't help covering his face with his hand, he didn't dare to think about the next scene.

inside the house.

Mrs. Hu was wearing pajamas similar to Nongyu's, her black hair was hanging down her shoulders, she still had that dangerous hairstyle, she folded her hands on her chest, bit her lips lightly, looked at Nongyu with her beautiful eyes, as if she wanted to explain something, but she couldn't help it. I didn't know what to say, and there were tears in the corners of my anxious eyes.

Luo Yan's thoughts changed sharply, and the next moment he calmed down, sighed lightly, and said helplessly, "You still found out."

He didn't try to quibble about anything, it's at this point, so quibbles are useless.

"why……"

Nongyu pursed her lips, looked at Luo Yan unacceptably, and asked.

That's all for Luo Yan and other women, why is it like this with Mrs. Hu? Doesn't Brother Luo know about Mrs. Hu's relationship with her?

"Come in and talk."

Luo Yan was very thick-skinned, and said calmly, then walked to Nongyu's side, put his arms around her shoulders, and said in a deep voice: "I believe you, Brother Luo, you are not a scumbag, I can give you a explain."

In this short period of time, he has already found an excuse to deceive.

Nongyu looked at Luo Yan with complicated eyes, bit her lips lightly, turned around and entered the house without saying anything, she didn't want to make a big fuss.

Soon the door was closed tightly, isolating the outside world, making Mo Crow's idea of ​​watching a play come to nothing.

inside the house.

The three of them stood together. In front of Nongyu, Luo Yan stretched out his hand to embrace her in spite of Mrs. Hu's resistance, and then, with Nongyu's astonished expression, sighed softly: "You guessed right. Sister-in-law is indeed that relationship. This relationship has lasted for a long time. It has been like this since the time when I was in Korea. At that time, Mrs. Hu had not yet recognized you, and I did not know that you had such a relationship.

If I knew, I would never be able to do this.

Later, after my sister-in-law met you, she also wanted to sever ties with me, but I didn't agree.

It's all my fault, don't blame her. "

Luo Yan endured everything very responsibly, and the panic was only for a moment. After all, it was just a small scene. As long as Zi Nu didn't get involved, everything wouldn't be a big problem.

Nongyu, he can hold on!
