Chapter 46: Chu Jun retreat prelude

This is really a rather awkward situation.
Qin Juntun has 600,000 soldiers. If the Chu State does not respond, the 600,000 troops can be driven into the hinterland of the Chu State. However, after the response, the 400,000 Chu army faced a solid defensive fortress and the 600,000 Qin army who could not fight after the fortress.
Offense and defense are completely reversed. Qin State invaded Chu State, but now Chu State is desperately attacking Qin State's stronghold.
The military is in a weak position. In fact, in the first two months of the confrontation, although coach Xiang Yan sent troops for several times, he did not concentrate on attacking. However, the King Chu from the rear urged the orders one after another, and the forced him had to choose to call a large army to attack. In this three-day siege battle, Chu lost more than 30,000 infantry, and Qin's stronghold remained untouched.
It can be said that Jingyu led the cavalry to attack the subtle advantages won by Qin Jun, and gradually disappeared with the passage of time.
On this day, Xiang Yan stopped the siege and summoned the generals in the account, including Jingyu. Although he was young, everyone knew how powerful he was. When arranging his seats, he was the first one sitting under Xiang Yan's left.
After treating others, Xiang Yan said the current bad situation. The most important one is that the grain transported behind is ten days late.
"If three days before the grain and grass arrive, our army will run out of grain." Xiang Yan frowned.
As soon as this remark came out, there was silence for three breaths. Afterwards, the generals moved around to look at their colleagues and whispered. Without grain and grass, the horses can't move and don't say, the soldiers' biggest reaction may be mutiny. This has nothing to do with patriotism, even these generals can not blame any soldier.
Someone directly proposed to Xiang Yan to cut off the officer who was unfavorable for grain transportation. Others asked Xiang Yan to send more people to urge, and even asked the king to come forward and urge the grain to be transported. Xiang Yan waited a few minutes for them to quarrel, before raising their hands to signal them to be quiet.
"I've already asked if the officer was unfavorable for his work, and the grain and grass in the rear could not keep up with the supply of the army." Xiang Yan sighed and said, "Our army hasn't fought in two months. How much does 400,000 people consume daily The national grain reserves have bottomed out. At present, the king has issued an edict, and it may take some time for the national grain collection to be available."
The soldiers are all strong men. If you don’t wear helmets and armor, or do military training, you will consume less energy and eat less. It's just, how can you not do this in wartime? This one.
Now the transportation of grain and grass also depends on people and horses. The grain and grass consumed by 400,000 people is escorted by the escorts and horses on the road, and they can eat a quarter of the grain and grass escorted.
After two or two visits, two months ago, Chu has already faced a dilemma in the field of grain and grass.
"Well, how is this good?"
Some generals are overwhelmed and look at the people around them, they are not necessarily better than him. Someone noticed that Jingyu's expression remained calm after sitting there.
"General, can you have a good plan?"
With this sentence, the big account was quiet again, but Xiang Yan also looked at Jingyu.
Jingyu glanced at this man and knew that he was the father of Dragon and the general of the Dragon Dragon Legion. Seeing the ray of hope in other people's eyes, he couldn't help smiling and said:
"A clever woman can't cook without rice, without food and grass, any strategy will become empty talk."
The expressions of disappointment on the faces of the big accountants, Jingyu continued without saying: "Now, it is only reasonable to abandon this unprotected and empty land and evacuate early."
Xiang Yan nodded, "I also thought of this. But, will the Qin Army let our army evacuate safely? I am afraid that Wang Jian, who is waiting for him, is this trick! When my army withdrew, we were defeated and greeted us. Dead country."
Jingyu stood up from the seat and screamed at him with fists: "Marshal but can rest assured, give me fifty thousand soldiers and horses, I can win three days for the army, help the army to pass the vortex safely."
"Oh?" Xiang Yan looked at him in surprise, a small, immature face full of composure. This is in contrast to his words, giving people a certain confidence that they will succeed. But this confidence is not manifested in him, but the people who watch him feel that he can succeed.
The big account was quiet for a while, Xiang Yan glanced at the other generals, and those people all avoided his gaze. He was a little proud in his heart, and only his family had the courage to face Qin Jun.

"Since you say this, you must have an early understanding of the retreat of the army." Xiang Yansi said after a moment, "Yes, today you will leave the command to you."
Jingyu smiled lightly at him. When he turned to the rest of the generals, his face was sullen. Many battle-hardened generals are still inevitable in their hearts, all praised secretly in their hearts, ‘The major general, despite his young age, has done his marshal martial arts. In time, it will surely become the pillar of Chu. ’
"The retreat will begin in the middle of the night tonight." Jingyu ordered: "All the horses and horses, prepare three days of rations, walk lightly and squat. If there is noise, cut it; if there is resistance, cut it; light the lighter. , Sit together in a group; those who march less than a hundred miles a day, sit together in a group.
Everyone was watching him, even Xiang Yan and Xiang Liang who thought they knew him very well. Their eyes were full of surprise. Why, the child could speak so calmly and so murderously that they let their backs cool Military order? Between ten breaths, everyone in the account seemed to hold their breath.
Gu Dong, who didn't know who swallowed spit in distress, the loud voice filled his ears but no one laughed.
"Will the generals have doubts?" Jingyu asked, glancing around with a pair of black eyes.
"Yu'er, are you asking too much?" Xiang Yan wanted to say for everyone, this requirement is a bit harsh. However, his words were interrupted by the sneering sight of Jingyu.
"Whoever violated it, told him before the beheading that there were 50,000 brothers in his rear protecting him to go there." Jingyu asked no change, "Marshal's previous intentions to repent?"
Xiang Yan just handed over the command to him.
"This" Xiang Yan's mouth twitched a few times, and while complaining that'The stinky kid didn't give me a face', he said to the generals waiting for him with his scalp, "I ordered the military command as the major general. In addition, Tell them that fifty thousand Chu soldiers are fighting blood for their retreat, so that they will not live up to the blood they shed."
"Lord general leads the life!" Zhu Jiang looked at each other and punched Xiang Yan and Jingyu.
As the armor rattled, they quickly walked out and went to busy the military order Jingyu had just issued. Only Jingyu and Xiang Yan were left in the account. Then Xiang Yan asked:
"Yu'er, you seem to still have some concerns. If fifty thousand soldiers and horses are not enough, I will leave more for you."
Jingyu shook his head, "I started making arrangements on the road leading to the Guohe River two months ago, and fifty thousand soldiers and horses were enough to cope with Qin Jun's pursuit. It was just "He laughed expressionlessly at himself, "Save this The army of more than 300,000 troops may not be of much help to Chu's war situation."
More than 300,000 troops returned to Chudu, Shouchun, and the key grain and grass problems remained unresolved. It is better to say that it is because there are more people, but it will aggravate the early arrival of the grain crisis.
Xiang Yan is a famous general, and he can think of this. He thought Jingyu was thinking about whether he was doing right, walked to his side, patted his shoulder, and comforted:
"As a coach, we only have to do our own best. Both for future considerations and for every soldier in the present. Seeing the result does not mean that we have given up the struggle. Just as everyone will die sooner or later, do we know our future Will die, give up alive?"
Jingyu was a little surprised, looked at him with a tilted head from the bottom, and suddenly smiled cunningly: "So, if you see your own death, will you still give up in the future?"
"Uh"
Xiang Yan didn't expect that he would wait for him here. Seeing the expression on his face, where there is no place to imagine, it is completely a little fox. He smiled and shook his head without answering, and walked out of the account.
"I hope you can enjoy your old age." Jingyu said behind him.
Xiang Yan's footsteps paused and did not turn around, but said: "If you can call me Grandpa, I will have no regrets in my life."
"Then live well. When you are ninety, I can think about it."
"This requirement is really high!"
