His words shocked all four of them!
The moment Li Xin's words left his mouth, all the generals present were truly shocked.
In the eyes of the generals, the Chu Country was scheming against each other, and many ministers betrayed the country for glory. The generals of the Chu army were not on good terms, and each of them insisted on their own opinions. At this point, the Chu army had been completely defeated by the Qin army, and it was certain that the Great Qin cavalry would break through the capital of the Chu army. The generals even thought that this was not a difficult matter at all. As long as the general gave the order, everything would be logical.
But now, Li Xin said that it would be extremely difficult to destroy Chu. How could the generals believe him?
"Li Xin couldn't have been scared by Xiang Yan's battle, right?”This was the same thought in the hearts of all the generals.
"Isn't the commander of the Central Army a little too alarmist? Could it be that he, Xiang Yan, could reverse the situation?”Meng Tian raised her eyebrows and retorted. Her tone was full of mockery. Meng Tian came from a famous family and as a new general of Great Qin, she naturally had her pride. She looked down on this senior who had been defeated by Xiang Yan.
Li Xin was not angry at Meng Tian's ridicule. A failure was a failure. It was a light matter to be laughed at for making a big mistake.
Li Xin pointed at the sand table with his hand," The three points where the Chu army is stationed are advancing at the same time. The purpose of provoking our army is to let us fight them.”Finished speaking, Li Xin looked at Wang Jian and his tone changed,""However, according to my observations, the soldiers from the three armies of Chu are only ordinary soldiers. The elite troops of the Chu army, not to mention the children of the Xiang family, even the elite cavalry of the Chu army, the Soaring Dragon Legion, rarely appeared. There must be a trap.”
When Meng Tian and the generals heard this, they were moved. They had all noticed this, but after half a year of not fighting, they had been a little lax. Subconsciously, they had thought that cavalry was not good for attacking, so they had not sent them to the battlefield. However, now that they had been reminded, they had discovered the problem.
"Hiss…" Gasps sounded. Those who could stand here were not stupid. They immediately had a guess in their hearts. However, this conjecture was too shocking. If it was true, the generals could not help but feel a lingering fear at Xiang Yan's ruthlessness and decisiveness.
The corners of Ji Yun's mouth curled up into a faint smile. At that time, when he discovered Xiang Yan's intentions, he also felt a wave of emotion. He really admired Xiang Yan and Ji Yun. When Li Xin attacked Chu, Xiang Yan decisively gave up a large part of the cities in the north of the Huai River and allowed the Qin army to march straight in. Then, he used a trick to deceive the world and cut off the retreat of the Qin army. He ambushed them all the way and caused the Qin army to fall into chaos. In the end, he did not stop for three days and three nights, chasing after Li Xin for thousands of miles and taking back the Huaibei region. But this time, they had to make a decisive decision. If the Qin army attacked rashly, then the results of the Qin country for the past half a year would instantly turn into bubbles.
Wang Jian nodded to Li Xin, indicating for him to continue. "This general surmises that Xiang Yan wants to use these hundreds of thousands of ordinary soldiers as the main force to greatly exhaust our strength. If necessary, he will use his elites to deal a heavy blow to our army. Our military strength has been damaged and needs to be replenished from within the country. The arrival of the new army requires time to adapt to the water and soil environment, which requires a long period of time. This period of time was enough for them to recuperate and replenish their soldiers. After all, the people of Chu were fierce and many of them could fight with spears. Furthermore, there are not many troops that can be mobilized in the country, and the replenishment that our army can receive is extremely limited. With the enemy increasing in numbers and us decreasing in numbers, it would be difficult for us to break through when the Chu army holds the stronghold.”
Li Xin's words made the generals in the tent fall into silence. The long-term " squatting fat " made them somewhat numb, so that many things did not deepen their thinking.
"General Li, Meng Tian has learned her lesson." After thinking through all of this, Meng Tian broke out in a cold sweat. She knew that she had been too arrogant and had " fallen " into Xiang Yan's plan. He immediately put away his contempt for the Chu army and his disdain for Li Xin. He cupped his fists towards Li Xin and said apologetically,"I hope General Li can forgive me for my rudeness earlier.”
Li Xin smiled faintly and shook his head to show that he didn't care.
"General Li Xin is right," Ji Yun said softly,"but I have a different opinion."”
Ji Yun's words made all the generals look at him. Li Xin's deduction shocked them quite a bit. Did he miss something important? Li Xin himself was also thinking about this problem. According to his past experience, the things that Ji Yun proposed were not insignificant.
Ji Yun cupped his fists at Wang Jian." I remember that the old general said that the spy had found out that Xiang Yan had suggested to the King of Chu, Fu Chu, to give up Huaibei and retreat to Huainan at the beginning of this battle.”
Hearing this, the generals frowned. Ji Yun knew that they had guessed what he wanted to say. Smiling, Ji Yun picked up the wooden stick and drew a line on the sand table to the south of Huai River.""That's right. After this battle, regardless of whether Xiang Yan achieved his goal or not, he will probably withdraw his troops from Huainan and fight our army on land and water. "If that's the case, it will be very difficult for our army to break through its defenses. Even if we manage to break through its defenses, it will take a lot of time, manpower, and resources. This will be a hidden danger for Great Qin, and it might even be a disaster.”
"If Xiang Yan gives up the north of the Huai River, Shouchun, the capital of Chu, will face our army. I'm afraid that Fu Chu and those officials of Chu will not agree to let Shouchun fall into such a predicament, right?”Li Xin had also thought about whether Xiang Yan would retreat to Huaibei, but when he thought of Shouchun and the others, Li Xin vetoed this situation. After all, according to the secret agents, the last time Xiang Yan proposed this plan, the entire Chu court, including the King of Chu, Fu Chu, was vehemently opposed.
Ji Yun lightly laughed and didn't answer Li Xin's question. He knew that Wang Jian would give this answer, so it was most appropriate for him to answer. As expected, Wang Jian spoke," As long as there is a direct battle with our army, regardless of the outcome, at that time, whether the Chu army continues to hold their ground and confront our army here or retreat to the north of the Huai River is probably not something that the Chu royal court can decide.”
Seeing that the generals were all frowning with confusion, Wang Jian continued to explain,"When a general is outside, he will not accept the monarch's orders. Xiang Yan only needed an excuse. If he fails, he will be justified in retreating to Huainan. If they won, it would prove that their strategy was effective, and the soldiers would accept the strategy of retreating.”
The generals nodded subconsciously, but they felt that something was wrong.
"Then what's going on? It's not right to win and it's not right to lose. Are we just going to keep guarding like this?”
After a long silence, a roughly thirty-year-old general muttered gloomily. The generals nodded in agreement.
Hearing this, Ji Yun could not help but smile. Even Wang Jian revealed a slight smile.
Xin Sheng, like Li Xin, was one of the Four Great Generals of Great Qin. He was a straightforward and unyielding man.
"Fight, of course we have to fight. And you have to beat him up ruthlessly." Looking at the Chu army's camp that spanned thirty miles on the sand table, Wang Jian's expression was calm, but his eyes flickered with a sharp light." Didn't Xiang Yan want to retreat? Then let him retreat. I want the scene that happened in Huaibei a year ago to happen again, but this time we are hunters!”
"Hu hu…" As Wang Jian's words fell, waves of hurried breathing sounds immediately sounded out in the tent. The excitement on all the generals 'faces was obvious, and the fighting spirit in their eyes seemed to have solidified. More than half of the generals 'eyes instantly turned bloodshot, and their clenched fists were already cracking.
Among these generals, Li Xin, Xin Sheng, Yang Ruihe, Feng Jie, and many others of the younger generation were participants in the last war against Chu. That war was the shame of the entire Qin army, the shame of the Qin Dynasty, and the shame of their entire lives. When the army set out this time, many generals were still recuperating, but all of them gritted their teeth and followed along with their injuries in order to avenge their humiliation!
Sensing the monstrous battle intent of the generals, Wang Jian's heart heated up, and he said in a deep voice,"Our army was defeated in the first battle. This battle is the opportunity to exterminate Chu for revenge! What we need to do now is to motivate the soldiers. In the upcoming war, we will fight together and destroy Chu for revenge!”
"Let's fight together and destroy Chu for revenge!"
The entire Qin camp seemed to have heard this earth-shattering roar.
This was the first time Ji Yun had seen such an intense fighting spirit that dared to fight against the heavens and the earth. Ji Yun felt his young heart become excited, and the blood in his entire body gradually boiled, and his breathing quickened.
After a long time, the roars that echoed in the tent gradually dissipated, but the fighting spirit on everyone's bodies did not decrease at all.
"Reporting to General, Lord Yao Jia has sent a secret message.”A slightly gloomy but vigorous voice came from outside the tent.
Ji Yun's heart moved. Black Ice. General Wang Jian also raised his eyebrows." Come in."”
A swordsman dressed in black with a long sword on his back walked in. This swordsman had a cold expression on his face. The tent that was filled with fighting spirit did not move him at all. He walked directly in front of Wang Jian and took out a bamboo tube from his bosom. He bowed and handed it to Wang Jian with both hands. He stood up, turned around, and left. There was not a trace of excess movement, not a trace of sloppiness.
"The Black Ice Secret Guard, such an organization is too terrifying.”Even though the Yinyang School had their own secret agents and death warriors, and even though they had seen the Black Ice Secret Guards many times, Ji Yun was still shocked.
Wang Jian opened the bamboo tube and took out a sheepskin scroll. After quickly reading the contents on it, a disdainful smile once again rose on Wang Jian's face. He looked at everyone and said,"It seems that this war is about to begin!”
