Wang Jian, who had made up his mind in his heart, prepared to properly observe Zhao Ye's military talent.
After all, Zhao Ye had once rejected him before. Hence, Wang Jian did not intend to be so direct.
......
"Good move!"
In the Lantian camp, the battle between Wang Li and Zhao Ye ended with Wang Li's defeat. The crowd cheered.
The soldiers in the Lantian camp also looked askance at Zhao Ye.
Wang Li was the grandson of the famous general Wang Jian, but his martial arts were actually inferior to Zhao Ye?
As for Zhao Ye, to be honest, his victory was a little boring.
He knew some military skills.
He had been raised by the veterans since he was young, and training Zhao Ye was one of the few pleasures of those old fellows. In addition, he was stronger than Wang Li, so it was not surprising that he could defeat Wang Li.
Moreover, this was a spar, not a battlefield. If they were to fight to the death on the battlefield, Zhao Ye felt that he and Wang Li would at most have a 50 - 50 chance.
However, the strange thing was that Wang Li was too enthusiastic about him.
In the past few days, they had been playing billiards with him when they had nothing to do. Moreover, he had even organized soldiers to play billiards. It was as if he wanted to promote billiards to the entire army.
In addition, Wang Li would occasionally ask him about his views on famous battles.
"Since I have nothing better to do, why don't we have a debate?”Wang Li said as he nudged Zhao Ye with his shoulder.
Military debates had existed since the Warring States Period. The most famous one was probably the Cao Guan debate.
Take a battle as an example. Both sides had their own opinions, and then they discussed and argued.
And the battle they chose this time was the war between Qin and Chu.
The two of them sat facing each other, and a few soldiers carried over a large number of bamboo tubes.
After the two of them bowed to each other, Zhao Ye began to flip through the information from that time. After a long time, Zhao Ye raised his head.
"This Chu Country still has a chance of survival!”
Zhao Ye sighed.
To be honest, the difference between Qin Chu and the old man was too great. One of them was a healthy young man, while the other was an old man.
Qin destroying Chu was inevitable, not a coincidence.
The difference in national strength between the two was too great, and the difference in national treasury storage was also too great.
However, if one had to say whether Chu had a chance of survival or not, there was still one.
After all, the Chu Country was considered a large country. It had a vast territory and many citizens.
"Where did this chance of survival come from?”Wang Li smiled.
"The 600,000 strong Qin army is pressing down on the border. If the Chu Country fights, the Chu Country will definitely perish! If Chu doesn't fight, Chu will also perish!" Wang Li said confidently.
Wang Jian was the commander-in-chief of this battle. Of course, he had told him where the crux of this battle lay.
Logistics! It was about combat strength!
Because of the military merit system, the Qin army's combat strength was the best in the world.
The Chu army was much weaker than the Qin army. If the Chu army took the initiative to fight, they would definitely lose. Therefore, Xiang Yan chose to defend and not come out.
However, Qin Fen's remaining six generations of strength and ample national treasury allowed the army to eat, drink, and play at the border of Chu State for a year through logistics.
As for the Chu Country, the government was muddled and the treasury was empty. Even if it was a year, it would not be able to last.
That was why Wang Jian seized the opportunity to take him down in one fell swoop.
However, this did not mean that Chu had no chance of survival.
Zhao Ye smiled and said,"If Chu goes to war, what about Qin?"”
Wang Li replied without hesitation,"Accept the challenge!"
The two of them were stronger than Qin and weaker than Chu. How could they not accept the challenge?
At that time, Wang Jian could not wait for Xiang Yan to take the initiative to fight.
"Let the border be controlled by the Qin army. How about the Qin army?”Zhao Ye asked.
"If we take down the border, the Chu Country's border will be safe. Naturally, we will march towards the capital!”
Zhao Ye smiled and said," From the border to the capital, there are more than a hundred cities. Withdraw the people and leave more than a thousand people to defend the city. They will pay a lot of money to buy their lives. If the city walls are lost, they will defend the houses. How about the losses of the Qin army?"”
Wang Li frowned and said,"At least a thousand people."”
No matter how weak Chu was, it was impossible for them to suffer fewer casualties than the Qin army. Moreover, he had already said that he would pay a lot of money to buy his life.
"The Qin army has over a hundred cities along the way, how many will die?”
Zhao Ye asked with a smile. Wang Li was stunned for a moment before spitting out a number.
"100,000!"
"On the march, I kept sending troops to make you deviate from the original path. Are you going to chase after me or not?”
Zhao Ye asked.
"You don't chase. I'll cut off your rear!"
"I can let the army clear the rear."”
Zhao Ye smiled as he pointed at the map and drew a circle.
"If we don't march in a straight line and only advance after clearing the rear, how many cities do you think we will take?”
When Wang Li saw this, he smiled awkwardly. There were hundreds of cities in Zhao Ye's circle.
"Then what if I go all out and charge straight for the Imperial City at all costs?”Wang Li asked.
"Then what if the Chu Country moves its capital?" Zhao Ye said with a smile.
"Using our position to exchange for enough time to mobilize the entire country, 600,000 Qin troops are not a lot. With the advantage of the Chu Country, everyone is fighting with their lives, and 600,000 Qin troops will find it difficult to move.”
"So what if we take down the city? I can exchange the city for your life. I can move around, split up and regroup, gather and disperse, and rely on the geographical advantage to attack. If the Qin army can't take it down in one battle, they can't escape.”
Zhao Ye smiled and said,"Unfortunately, Chu can't win!"”
Zhao Ye had one more thing to say. These were all ideal situations.
The biggest prerequisite for guerrilla warfare was that the soldiers were not afraid of death, were loyal, and had high morale.
And as heavy as an old man in Chu? How could they use guerrilla warfare?
The guerrilla warfare could only be carried out among the people. As for the people of Chu? He probably wanted the royal family of Chu to be destroyed.
