This is really a rather embarrassing situation.
Qin Jun stationed 600,000 elite soldiers. If Chu State did not respond, then the 600,000 troops could drive straight into the hinterland of Chu State. However, after the response, the 400,000 Chu army faced a solid defensive fortress, and the 600,000 Qin army who refused to fight behind the fortress.
Attack and defense are completely reversed. The State of Qin invaded the State of Chu, and now it is the State of Chu that is desperately attacking the fortress of the State of Qin.
In fact, in the first two months of the confrontation, although the coach Xiang Yan sent troops to call for formation many times, he did not conduct concentrated attacks. However, he had no choice but to summon a large army to attack because of the urging orders from the king of Chu in the rear. In this three-day siege, Chu lost more than 30,000 infantry troops, and Qin's fortress remained untouched.
It can be said that the slight advantage that Jingyu led the cavalry to attack the Qin army that day gradually disappeared with the passage of time.
On this day, Xiang Yan stopped attacking the city and summoned all the generals in the tentincluding Jingyu. Although he is young, everyone knows how powerful he is. When arranging the seats, he sits first on the left side of Xiang Yan.
After everyone arrived, Xiang Yan told all about the current bad situation. The most important one is that the food and grass delivered to the rear is already ten days late.
"If the food and grass don't arrive in another three days, our army's food storage will be exhausted." Xiang Yan said with a frown.
As soon as this remark was made, three breaths of silence were created. Afterwards, the generals looked at their colleagues left and right with emotion, and whispered to each other. Without food and grass, not to mention the immobilization of military horses, the biggest reaction of the soldiers may be mutiny. This has nothing to do with patriotism, even these generals can't criticize any soldier.
Someone directly proposed to Xiang Yan to kill the escort who was not good at transporting grain. Some people asked Xiang Yan to send more people to urge, and some even asked the king to come forward and issue an edict to supervise the transportation of grain. Xiang Yan waited for them to quarrel for a few minutes before raising her hand to signal them to be quiet.
"I've already asked, it's not that the escort officer is not doing his job well, it's that the food and grass in the rear can't keep up with the supply of the army." Xiang Yan said with a sigh, "Our army has not fought for two months, and the daily consumption of 400,000 people is so much. ?The national grain inventory has bottomed out. At present, the king has issued an edict to collect grain from the whole country I am afraid it will take some time to supply it."
The soldiers are all strong men. If you don't wear armor and armor at ordinary times, and don't do military training, you will consume less energy and eat less. But, how could they not do this during the war? This one.
Now the transportation of food and grass all depends on people and horses. The grain and grass consumed by escorting 400,000 people, the escorts and horses on the road alone can eat a quarter of the grain and grass escorted.
After going back and forth like this, for two months now, the state of Chu has already encountered a dilemma in terms of grain and grass.
"This, what should I do?"
Some generals were at a loss and looked at the people around them again and again, and they were not necessarily better than him. However, someone noticed that Jingyu was sitting there with a calm expression, so he clasped his fists and asked:
"Major General, do you have a good plan?"
With his words, the big tent fell silent again, and even Xiang Yan looked at Jingyu.
Jingyu took a look at this man and knew that he was Long Qie's father, the chief general of the Tenglong Legion. Seeing the light of expectation in other people's eyes, he couldn't help but smiled wryly and said:
"It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice. Without food and grass, any strategy will become empty talk."
Everyone in the big tent showed disappointed expressions on their faces, but Jingyu continued indifferently: "Now, it is only reasonable to abandon this unsafe and open land and evacuate early."
Xiang Yan nodded, "I have thought of this too. However, how could the Qin army allow our army to withdraw safely? I am afraid that Wang Jian was waiting for this trick! Once our army withdraws, we will be greeted with failure and victory." Subjugation."
Jingyu stood up from his seat, clasped his fists at him solemnly and said: "Marshal, but don't worry, give me 50,000 soldiers and horses, and I can win three days for the army, and help the army cross the Guohe safely."
"Oh?" Xiang Yan looked at him in surprise, on that small body, a still immature face was full of composure. This contrasts with his words, giving people a confidence that they will be able to succeed. However, this self-confidence is not shown in him, but felt by the people watching himhe can succeed.
After a moment of silence in the big tent, Xiang Yan glanced at the other generals, all of whom avoided his gaze. He was a little proud that only his descendants had the courage to face Qin Jun.
"Since you said that, you must have had an opinion on the retreat of the army."After thinking for a moment, Xiang Yan said: "Forget it, I will leave the command to you today."
Jingyu smiled at him lightly. When he turned to face the rest of the generals, his face was solemn, and in an instant, he was oppressed by an imposing manner. Many generals who had experienced battles could not help but tremble in their hearts, and they all secretly praised in their hearts, "Although the major general is young, he has already done his best as a marshal." In time, he will surely become the pillar of Chu State. '
"The retreat will start in the middle of the night tonight." Jingyu ordered: "All soldiers and horses, prepare three-day rations, travel lightly, and put down flags and drums. If there is any noise, beheaded; if there is resistance, beheaded; those who light the lamps to catch fire , the whole army sits together; those who march less than a hundred miles a day, the whole army sits together."
Everyone was looking at him, even Xiang Yan, Xiang Liang, who thought they knew him very well Their eyes were filled with astonishment. How could that child speak so calmly and with such awe-inspiring murderous intent that it made their spines shudder? Cool military orders? Within ten breaths, everyone in the tent seemed to hold their breath.
Gudong, I don't know who swallowed unbearably, the loud voice was deafening but no one laughed at it.
"Do you have any questions, generals?" Jingyu asked monotonously as he glanced around with his black eyes.
"Yu'er, is your request too much?" Xiang Yan wanted to say for everyone that this request was a bit harsh. However, his words were interrupted by Jingyu's sneering gaze.
"If anyone violates it, tell him before beheading that there are 50,000 brothers behind him protecting him and going there." Jingyu didn't intend to change, and asked instead: "Do you want to go back on what the marshal made earlier?"
Xiang Yan just handed over the command to him.
"This" The corners of Xiang Yan's mouth twitched a few times, complaining in her heart that 'the stinky boy is too disrespectful to me', and at the same time biting the bullet and said to the generals waiting for him, "Just issue the military order according to the major general's wishes. In addition, tell them that there are 50,000 Chu soldiers who are fighting bloody battles for their retreat, and let them not disappoint the blood shed by these soldiers.¡±
"The last general takes orders!" The generals looked at each other, clasped their fists at Xiang Yan and Jingyu.
Following the clattering of armor, they walked out quickly, to busy with the military order that Jingyu had just issued. Only Jingyu and Xiang Yan were left in the tent, at this moment Xiang Yan asked:
"Yu'er, you still seem to have something on your mind. If 50,000 soldiers and horses are not enough, I will leave some more for you."
Jingyu shook his head, "I started to make arrangements on the road leading to Guohe two months ago, and 50,000 soldiers and horses are enough to deal with the pursuit of the Qin army. It's just" He laughed at himself expressionlessly, "Save Having more than 300,000 troops may not be of much help to Chu's war situation."
? More than 300,000 troops returned to Shouchun, the capital of Chu, but the key issue of food and grass remained unresolved. Rather, because there are too many people, it will exacerbate the early arrival of the food and grass crisis.
Since Xiang Yan is a famous general, he can also think of this. He thought that Jingyu was thinking about whether what he did was correct, so he walked up to him, patted his shoulder, and comforted him:
"As the coach, we only need to do our best. We are not only thinking about the future, but also responsible for every soldier now. Seeing the result does not mean that we have given up the struggle. Just like people will die sooner or later, do you know your future? If you will die, you will give up living?"
Jingyu was a little surprised, tilted his head to look at him from the bottom up, and suddenly smiled slyly: "So, after seeing your own death, will you still give up living in the future?"
"Well¡¡"
Xiang Yan didn't expect that he would be waiting for him here. Seeing the expression on his face, there is nothing that can't be figured out, it's a little fox. He shook his head with a grin and walked outside the tent without answering.
"I hopeyou can enjoy your old age peacefully." Jingyu said behind him.
Xiang Yan's footsteps paused, and without turning around, she said: "If you can call me Grandpa, I will have no regrets in my life."
"Then live a good life. When you are ninety years old, I can think about it."
"This requirement is really high!"
