Chapter 594 Death Festival
Chen Di.
The dark night floats and falls, the lights are bright.
In the light of the fire, Lord Changping's eyes were shining and his face was ferocious.
"Zhao Shuang!"
Tian Guang stood in front of Lord Changping, standing quietly. Tian Guang told Lord Changping about the current situation in Chu land and persuaded him.
"Now that the situation has changed, the Chu army may be about to withdraw. Lord Changping, please withdraw as soon as possible!"
The purpose of Lord Changping being nailed here is to help the Chu army encircle the Qin army. However, if the Chu army withdraws, then there will be no use for Lord Changping to stay here.
On the contrary, it will become quite dangerous.
"Is this what Xiang Yan meant?"
Tian Guang lowered his head and cupped his hands.
"The King of Chu has sent a military report asking for reinforcements, but there is no sound from Xiang Yan yet. I wonder what he is planning?"
Changping-jun squinted his eyes and slowly stood up.
"Xiang Yan is a veteran on the battlefield, so naturally she will not let go of this golden opportunity."
"But now the Qin army has recovered."
Lord Changping smiled, with a hint of disdain in his smile.
"Although this 200,000-strong army is the elite of the Qin State, it is now in danger. Zhao Shuang is dragging it with all his strength, just to prevent the egg from breaking. I know better than the Chu army how fragile the Qin army is at this time. "
Mr. Changping now looks completely different from usual, with a ruthless look on his face and no longer his usual elegance.
"But no matter what, Zhao Shuang is now stable. What's more, the Qin army has obtained supplies from Suiyang, and the Chu army may not have a chance."
"Zhao Shuang is a master of military use, so he naturally understands the principle of 'showing strength through weakness'. Zhao Shuang used a surprise attack on Shouying, and at the same time, he asked the Tenglong Legion to burn the three hundred carts of food and grass, fearing that he would Let the Chu army retreat when they realize the difficulty."
"Mr. Changping, you mean that the Qin army is not as stable as we thought?"
"At least, it's not as stable as Zhao Shuang showed us."
Chang Pingjun said softly, seeming to have made some decision, and clasped his hands.
"And now, there is another opportunity."
Tian Guang didn't know what opportunity Changping-jun was talking about, but he looked quite dangerous at this time.
"Changping-kun——"
Tian Guang instinctively wanted to stop Chang Pingjun, but the words were not spoken. Changping Jun had already made his decision.
"Now there is another chance. As long as the Chu army and our army attack the Qin army at the same time, the two hundred thousand Qin army will be in chaos. If we take advantage of the situation and attack, we can win a great victory."
"This is too dangerous. We are surrounded by spies, and our actions may not be hidden from them. Moreover, the time is so short, we have no time to notify the Chu army."
It's full of uncertainty.
Chang Pingjun smiled softly.
"Luo Wang's intentions are unpredictable. If these 200,000 troops are successfully rescued by Zhao Shuang, it is not what they want to see. Therefore, even if they know our purpose, they will not remind Zhao Shuang. As long as they send some elites in advance , just clear out the Qin army’s scouts around and create the illusion that we are retreating.”
"But even so, it remains to be seen whether the Chu army can understand Lord Changping's intention and cooperate with it! If they didn't expect it, or they lack the courage, then..."
Chang Pingjun waved his hand.
"I have made up my mind. If the Chu army is as afraid as you said, then letting me die in Zhao Shuang's hands would be my destination."
Seeing Lord Changping like this, Tian Guang felt respectful.
"If Mr. Changping has made up his mind, the farmer is willing to lend a helping hand."
"No, the farmer can't interfere in this matter."
Changping-kun's tone was quite serious.
"The survival of Chu State, no farmer can take action. You have to wait for the day when Young Master Fusu grows up. I believe that he will be a benevolent and righteous monarch."
For Lord Changping, even if Chu's situation becomes irreversible in the end, it doesn't actually matter.
"Now take Lian'er and the others away from here, back to Chudi, and stay away from these right and wrongs."
"promise!"
Chu army camp.
The night breeze blew slightly, bringing with it a sense of desolation.
In Xiang Yan's tent, a group of generals gathered.
"Yingbu, Jibu, do you understand?"
The two important army commanders in the Xiang clan looked at each other. Just now, Xiang Yan had decided to launch a strategic counterattack against the Qin army, and the two of them were the most important roles in this military mission.
Although there were many doubts, the two of them were soldiers and did not object.
"You will finally understand."
After some arrangements, there was no one else in the tent. Only Xiang Yan and Fan Zeng were still in the tent.
"Sir, do you think my arrangement was a mistake?"
Fan Zeng touched his beard and smiled bitterly.
"The General has always been a decisive person. I never expected that he would be so hesitant."
Xiang Yan shook her head.
"I am the commander-in-chief, with an army of 200,000 in my hands, and behind me is the Kingdom of Chu. If something goes wrong with this dangerous strategy, the Kingdom of Chu will be in danger!"
"It has been a life-or-death battle between us and the Qin army for a long time. If we retreat, we can save our life for a while, but can we keep it forever?"
In some areas, the Chu army had a tactical advantage. However, from an overall strategic perspective, the strategic contrast between Qin and Chu was quite unfavorable to Chu.
Without being able to kill the 200,000 Qin troops, Chang Pingjun's plan was in vain. If Chen Di falls, the Qin army's logistics artery will be opened up again.
At that time, the grain and grass soldiers from Han, Wei, and even Zhao, Yan, and Guanzhong can go down the Ying River and enter the Huai River until Shouchun.
The Qin army fought along the current and gained the upper hand. The Chu army passively defended and was at a disadvantage.
If this drags on for a long time, the Chu State will inevitably be destroyed.
"Zhao Shuang tried his best to survive, but the chess piece in his hand is gone, and the Qin army is in danger. The key is whether Lord Changping can see the weakness of the Qin army now, and cooperate with our actions to tear us apart. Split these 200,000 Qin troops."
Xiang Yan raised her head and breathed a sigh of relief.
"We have done our best, and the rest is only for the sake of the country!"
"Lord Zhiri, the rebels in the city suddenly made unusual movements."
The shadows in the forest were rustling, and the cold wind was blowing. He looked at the spy in front of him and asked.
"What's the matter?"
"The rebels in the city are suddenly mobilizing their war horses to prepare three days of food and fodder."
"Are they leaving?"
"No, they are gathering at the east gate. It seems they have other plans."
At the east gate?
Zhanri squinted his eyes. If Lord Changping wanted to retreat, he should go south to Xiangcheng. It would be faster to follow the waterway. Why did he gather the cavalry at the east gate?
Could it be...
Zhanri looked at the Luowang assassin in front of him and asked.
"Who else knows this news?"
"Eleven assassins died in the trap, and my subordinate is the only one alive to bring this news back."
"very good!"
The long sword that covered the sun was unsheathed, a sword light flickered in the moonlit night, and the assassin fell down.
Zhanri looked at the assassin's body and said coldly.
"You should have died with those eleven people."
