When I was in Qin Dynasty, I lost contact with the wave

Chapter 601 Zhang Ji leads the United States to attack Chubei

It's a pity that Li Yuan should have happily helped Xiang Yan, who was kneeling a head lower than him, but at this moment, a retainer suddenly broke into the tent and whispered in Li Yuan's ear for a while. Became gloomy.

Of course, Li Yuan would not do anything like "You really eat it." The thing that made Li Yuan feel bad came from Qin Jun.

Li Yuan helped Xiang Yan up, and soon the gloomy look on his face disappeared, and he put on that friendly and kind smile again, with a little disdain in it.

"The State of Qin is really acting like a child. Even though we, the State of Chu, declared war first, we dispatched troops first and captured Chen County."

Li Yuan's tone was very calm, as if the loss of Chen County was not a big deal.

However, everyone in the Chu State knows that Chen County was originally called "Chen Du" and "Ying Du". The former was a private name for Chen County, while the latter was an official name.

That was the old capital of the Chu State. After both Yicheng and the real capital of Ying were captured by Bai Qi, the capital of Chu became the accompanying capital and later the official capital. After the defeat in the last battle of Hezong, the Chu State moved its capital to Shouchun and made it the capital of Chu. Shouchun renamed it Yingdu, deceiving himself as if Yingdu of Chu had never fallen.

But after all, it was the former capital of Chu State, which is of great significance.

Moreover, as a city only 120 miles away from the Qin-Chu border, Chu State naturally dug deep ditches, built fortifications, and raised city walls to prevent the Qin army from attacking.

How could the Qin army break through so easily?
"What do you think, General?"

Li Yuan took the initiative to give up the right to speak to Xiang Yan, which seemed to further confirm his decision to hand over the command to Xiang Yan.

Xiang Yan stroked his beard on his chin, pondered, and said: "The strategic intention of the Qin army is obviously to drag our Chu country here, so they captured Chen County to provoke our Chu army."

"Well, what the general said is true."

Li Yuan glanced at the noble generals in the tent who looked disdainful towards Xiang Yan. His eyes were gloomy and his voice became a little louder: "Do you think so, generals?"

"Yes, what the general said is true!"

The noble generals recognized Li Yuan, but not everyone was convinced by Xiang Yan, who had a smaller fiefdom than them and was a temple noble. But with Li Yuan supporting Xiang Yan, even those nobles who were not convinced by Xiang Yan No matter how dissatisfied the general is, he will not dare to engage in the tactic of being obedient and disobeying the enemy.

"In my opinion, there is no need to wait for the remaining 150,000 troops to gather. General Jingqi will march north from Huaibei to aid Wei. Here, 250,000 elite Chu troops marched into Chubei, first to recover Chen County, and then to look for opportunities to recover. From the homeland of northern Chu, go north to Shangyu and march towards Wuguan!"

The other 150,000 troops were assembled temporarily after all, so the date of dispatch was temporarily postponed for fifteen days. If it were delayed for another half month, things might change.

Moreover, the other 150,000 troops were mostly assembled by the nobles of Lianghuai and other Jiangdong nobles. They were closer to Huaibei, so the 150,000 troops simply entered the territory of Wei to rush for reinforcements, and their main elite force was a group of elites. Take back your homeland bit by bit.

Xiang Yan didn't believe that Qin dared not send more troops.

Even if the Qin army chooses to continue to attack Wei State, even if Wei State cannot be saved in the end, Chu State will take the opportunity to regain Chu's homeland in northern Chu.

There is no problem with Xiang Yan's strategy. After all, the Qin army that crossed the Qin-Chu border was only 120,000, less than half of the main force of the Chu army.

But the premise is that he can defeat this Qin army.

Chubei, Chen County

Zhang Ji stood on the city wall of Chen County, with all the generals gathered around him. Zhang Ji looked at Wu Chen, Cai Ci, Shao Sao, and Lu Chen jokingly, and said with a smile: "How does it feel to return to your hometown in this capacity?" ?”

However, the faces of the four of them were not very good-looking. It was obviously not a good feeling to attack the home country of Chu as a general of the Qin army, or to personally attack Chen County, their hometown.

"Your Majesty, please stop teasing me. I just saw my father and he was chasing me with a stick and beating me. He called me a treason and traitor." Lu Chen smiled bitterly. His Lu family was also a powerful one in Chen County. His father, Lu Qing, was born in a farm family and was considered a highly respected person in Chen County. He was originally very happy when his missing son returned, but he was so angry when he found that his son had become a general of the Qin Army and was the first to break the city. He almost screamed and whipped over.

Zhang Ji kicked Lu Chen in the back angrily, and his dusty military boots left an obvious footprint on Lu Chen's back.

"Are you playing this trick with me?"

"You think I can't see what your father is up to?"

"If our Qin army wins, then the Lu family in Chen County can rely on you, the eldest son, to rise together. If the Chu army wins and takes back Chen County, then he will also be a loyal minister who killed his relatives. In order to appease people's hearts, the Chu State Temple will never punish Chen The Lu family in the county will also follow his example and give him great gifts."

Compared to the powerful Lu family of Chen County, Zhang Ji, a veteran nobleman of the Zhang family in Anyi, was too familiar with this method of hedging his bets.

Lu Chen didn't feel ashamed after being exposed, he just rubbed his head and laughed.

"As long as you fulfill your duties as General Lu Chen of Qin, I will not care about your hedging bets by the Lu family in Chen County, and the same goes for the Wu family, Cai family, and Shao family."

Zhang Ji is quite open-minded about this kind of thing. The powerful nobles are not cunning rabbits. The Zhang family in Anyi is also a branch thrown out by the Zhang family in Qinghe. Let the Zhang family take root in various countries and make separate bets. Naturally, they will not treat their subordinates. The family was angry for doing such a thing. As long as they themselves could fulfill their duties as Qin generals, Zhang Ji would not care and could even actively cooperate.

Otherwise, why did Zhang Ji let Wu Chen and Lu Chen be responsible for attacking the city, while Cai Ci and Shao Sao were responsible for appeasing the nobles and the people of Chen County. To put it bluntly, it also gave them an opportunity to show kindness to their fellow villagers and clansmen, and also reduced the time for the Qin army to enter the city. of killings.

Moreover, placing bets separately means that these nobles will not dare to go to death to offend the Qin army, at least they will not take the initiative to cause chaos, and it also saves Zhang Ji from worrying about being attacked from both sides.

"Li Yuan and Xiang Yan led an army of 250,000 people to the north. The vanguard was 100,000 people from the Thunder Leopard Army and the Shadow Tiger Army. They are already less than a hundred miles away from Chen County."

A charming voice with a hint of heroism reached Zhang Ji's ears. Zhang Ji turned his head and looked at the female general in white armor.

Wearing a gauze-like light silk short coat, covered with a white slim-fitting soft armor, it fits the slender waist and outlines the perfect curve.

The snow-white lotus-rooted arms and slender jade legs are individually wrapped with a pair of silk sleeves and stockings, and covered with a layer of soft arm armor and leg armor with fine lines like fish scales.

The pure white shirt behind him also fluttered in the wind. The shirt was embroidered with delicate patterns and shone with silver light, like an elegant cloud.

The long white hair was also combed into a neat ponytail shape, and the fine white hair shone with silver light in the sunlight.

Besides Bai Jin, who else is wearing this outfit?

"Thank you for your hard work, madam."

Zhang Ji looked at Bai Jin with a smile. This female general who had left the battlefield after marrying him also went south to Chu with him.

First, Zhang Ji's old troops were all dispersed to various places, leaving only a group of newly recruited retainers who lacked battlefield experience and were at war with the Chu State. Wouldn't it be dangerous if these retainers were unable to be used effectively?
Therefore, under the strong request of his wives and concubines at home, Zhang Ji had to agree to take Bai Jin with him to go south to Chu.

Secondly, it is also Bai Jin's own desire.

In the past, she was in Korea. As a woman, she was granted the title of Marquis by martial arts. Naturally, she longed to gallop and fight on the battlefield.

It's time for everyone in the world to remember that there is such a stunningly talented female general in the world.
